POLL: Candle-light: Day-to-day lighting or romantic occasion only?

Tom Flanagan

last modified: 9 years ago
I can't deny that I love most lighting, and candle-light is just another winner in my eyes. When it's early evening and you're cooking, the overhead can be too harsh, and so the candle-light takes centre-stage - a few solitary figures dotted around the room. That said, some people think they're too romantic and should only be used on occasion, and some think they're even a little eerie!

But where do you fall? Is candle-light a light in your life, or one you'd rather use sparingly or let fizzle out? Cast your vote and let us know why!

      I think candle lighting is underrated - well it is in my life anyway. I plan to rectify this.

      Candles seem to have a calming effect on people. I prefer unscented candles, as scented candles can overwhelm a small space, especially a table designated for eating. But even in the daylight, candles emit something that says "this is a very special moment, relax and enjoy yourself!"

      Dimmer switchers are a must! for complete control of all lighting. Now available are ones that plug into the actual plug and can be controlled by a dimmer switch o the device.

      Candlelight is fantastic - but LED lights much easier to dim! :)
