1. A candle assembly, comprising:
- a support base comprising a first retention member and a melting plate that includes an upwardly projecting capillary lobe, the capillary lobe comprising a first capillary wall extending from the melting plate;
a wick holder having a wick and a base portion that includes a second capillary wall, the capillary lobe cooperatively engages the base portion to define a capillary space between the first and the second capillary walls to allow capillary flow of melted fuel from the melting plate to the wick through the capillary space; and
a control unit having a light emitting system and a second retention member configured to lockingly engage with the first retention member.
