Electrical lighting and heating modules, assemblies and scent warmers comprising such modules, and related methods

A modular assembly for use with a scent warmer, comprising:

• a lighting module comprising:
• at least one electrical light source;
• a first electrical connector in electrical communication with and disposed on a first side of the at least one electrical light source;
• and
• a second electrical connector disposed on another side of the at least one electrical light source and in electrical communication with the first electrical connector;
• and
• a heating module comprising:
• a third electrical connector engaged and in electrical communication with the second electrical connector of the lighting module;
• and
• a heating element located at an end of the heating module opposing the third electrical connector and in electrical communication with the third electrical connector of the heating module.

A scent warmer configured to heat a scented material and emit light, comprising:

• a base structure comprising:
• an at least substantially hollow portion defining a cavity configured to receive at least one lighting module and at least one heating module at least partially therein;
• a female electrical connector;
• and
• a receptacle disposed over the at least substantially hollow portion for supporting a scented material;
• a lighting module at least partially disposed in the cavity of the base structure, the lighting module comprising:
• at least one electrical light source;
• a first electrical connector engaged and in electrical communication with the female electrical connector of the base structure and disposed on a first side of the at least one electrical light source;
• and
• a second electrical connector disposed on another side of the at least one electrical light source and in electrical communication with the first electrical connector;
• and
• a heating module at least partially disposed in the cavity of the base structure, the heating module comprising:
• a third electrical connector engaged and in electrical communication with the second electrical connector of the lighting module;
• and
• a heating element in electrical communication with the third electrical connector of the heating module.

A method of forming a scent warmer, comprising:

• forming a base structure, comprising:
• defining a cavity configured to receive at least one lighting module and at least one heating module in an at least substantially hollow lower portion;
• and
• configuring a receptacle for supporting a scented material during use of the scent warmer to engage an upper portion of the at least substantially hollow lower portion;
• forming a lighting module configured to be at least partially disposed in the at least substantially hollow base portion, comprising:
• electrically connecting at least one electrical light source to a male electrical connector configured to engage a female electrical connector of the base structure and disposed on a first side of the at least one electrical light source;
• and
• electrically connecting a female electrical connector disposed on another side of the at least one electrical light source to the male electrical connector;
• and
• forming a heating module configured to be at least partially disposed in the at least substantially hollow base portion, comprising:
• electrically connecting a heating element to a male electrical connector configured to engage the female treaded electrical connector of the lighting module.
