The temperature at which the wax in a lighted candle melts typically ranges between 120°F to 160°F (about 49°C to 71°C), depending on the type of wax used. Common candle waxes like paraffin, soy, and beeswax have different melting points within this range. For example, paraffin wax usually melts at around 130°F to 145°F (about 54°C to 63°C), while soy wax generally melts at about 120°F to 180°F (about 49°C to 82°C).
