A single example of such lighting devices is known as a candelabrum. A special kind of candelabrum is the Jewish menorah. While unnecessary today because of electrical interior lighting, candle-burning candelabra and traditional candlesticks are often used in modern homes as accessories, or as part of the interior design.

Since electrification, the collective term candelabra also has become a common designation for small-based incandescent light bulbs used in chandeliers and other (primarily decorative) lighting fixtures.

In the United States, the plural term candelabra also is a nickname for radio masts and radio towers with multiple tops. Examples include the KXTV/KOVR/KCRA Tower, UHF Candelabra, KSMO Candelabra Tower, KMBC/KCWE Candelabra Tower, and Madison Candelabra Tower.
