Tall Silver Candlestick


Tall Silver Candlestick - light on - very dim light


Tall Silver Candlestick - light off

 

maybe it is the pictures, but to me it looks like there is a difference when lit. The area immediately under the candle isn't brighter because the candle itself is blocking the light. Maybe move the candle close to a wall or something on the same horizontal plane as the wick and see if there is a difference.

 

@econner

Hmm - I think you're right. I moved the candlestick next to a wall, and there is light being given off - it's just very dim. :/

Have updated the bug.

 

Yeah, the silver candles were never any good for light sources. If you need something to light up a room, I'd go with wall torches or iron chandeliers. There are braziers and lanterns as well.
