They provide the heat source that allows the scented oils, granules or scented tarts to evaporate, heat up or melt with the desired effect of releasing a pleasing scent into the immediate environment.

While everyone is familiar with the everyday type of tea light it must be said that not all tealights are the same. The most common unscented tea lights burns normally up to 4 hours, however some of the cheaper variety while looking the same do not give the same burn length. It is really worth looking at the size of the tealight and not just the quantity in the package.
