An adapter for converting an electric light fixture into a candle-burning chandelier. A candle holder adapter includes a cavity at the bottom which fits over and is retained by the vertical light bulb socket support. The candle holder may include an wax catching tray. The candle may be a conventional candle which fits into the candle holder adapter, or may be specially formed to mate with the adapter. The adapter may hold or form a liquid fuel reservior for a fuel burning candle. In an O.E.M. fixture, the vertical light bulb socket support may be removed from the fixture and replaced by a conventional candle or a specially formed candle holder.
