The Light of a candle is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, so it is electromagnetic energy. It is also called radiant energy.
A candle, however, can emit others kinds of energy like heat, light, sounds, kinetic energy (that makes the air move due to convection) and so on.

What type of energy does a candle have?
Candle wax is a form of chemical energy.
What form of energy is a candle?
Heat and light energy.
What form of energy is found in candle ones lighted?
light energy
Is there physics in a candle?
Yes, part of physics is studying the transfer of energy from one form to another. Within the candle is chemical potential energy (think about how the candle has to burn in scented candles), when a fire source comes near enough to the candle the chemical potential energy is transferred into thermal energy (heat energy) and radiant energy (visible light energy)
When a candle is burning does that violate the laws of conservation of mass and energy?
No. -- Mass leaves the candle in the form of hot gases and soot, and there's always some of it left in the puddle of melted wax under the candle. -- Oxygen combines with the hydrocarbons in the candle material and the fibers in the wick, releasing chemical energy that leaves the candle in the form of heat and light.
What type of energy does a candle have?
Candle wax is a form of chemical energy.
What form is was the energy originally in candle before it was lit?
Potential energy is in an unlit candle, which is converted to heat energy, once the candle is lit.
What form of energy is a candle?
Heat and light energy.
What form of energy is being used as a candle burns?
The chemical energy stored in the candle wax.
What form of energy is found in candle ones lighted?
light energy

What form of energy is produced when you use the candle?
When you light a candle, it burns the wax. That is chemical energy. The thermal energy is produced as the lighted wick continue to burn the wax. It also gives out light as it burns.
Is a candle thermal energy or energy?
The candle itself isn't but the flame is thermal energy.
What is the energy of a flaming candle?
the energy in flame of a candle is thermal energy.
Energy flow diagram for a candle?
The wax in the candle contains chemical energy. When you burn the candle the chemical energy is transferred into heat (thermal) and light energy.
Does a candle use energy?
Yes. a candle turns chemical energy into light.
