thats true i remember some festive candles in the past, getting a duller glow in the middle as it burned through to the base of the candle
if the brightness range or intensity is increased, it sounds good, currently i have my settings on low (as a low-spec computer) so just more light, would work well, though if it adds flicker animations like some torches, that tends to cause slow downs for me, at least in most games)
