LITERALLY !!! After a 30 hour power outage last week, following a storm it struck me again that our great writers could not have written anything with candlelight alone. With every candle we owned lit I could barely make it to the next room!
good you had candles to make it through the storm & power outage!
interesting thought about lighting & writing, some writers, including Edgar Allan Poe, and musician Mozart, wrote at night under the light of oil lamps — must have been quite the task!

Put cheap dollar store solar lights out during the day and bring them in during the night. Cheaper than candles and can be used over and over.

Globes of water in front of candles were also used to magnify light.
neat science / history how they did that, thanks for sharing!
