The Lit Candle is a Candle with its wick burning. It gives a soft ring of light around the holder. It also counts as an open flame for lighting other things.
It is a cheap light for the nights after the power fails. Its strength is a long burn from a light, simple item. Its cost is a short reach, since it lights only the space close by.
This state comes only from lighting a Candle with a fire starter. Candles themselves are common in homes and stores.
Using
The flame lights a ring around the candle that reaches about five tiles. That is brighter than the glow of a Lighter over the same distance. A Flashlight reaches much farther and is the better choice for searching.
The candle keeps burning while it sits in the inventory, not only when held. That makes it handy for a light that does not tie up a hand.
The flame can also light other things. A lit candle lights another Candle with Light Candle. It lights a Hurricane Lantern with Light Hurricane Lantern. It can start a campfire too. One lit candle can pass its flame on and save a lighter's uses.
Extinguish Candle puts the flame out. The candle then goes back to a plain Candle with the wax that is left.
Upkeep
A fresh candle burns for about three hundred and thirty uses, a long time for its size. It burns down whether it is held or carried. Once fully burned, the candle is gone. Putting it out when the light is not needed saves wax for later.

Locations
The lit candle never spawns in loot. It comes from lighting a Candle with any fire starter. Candles also come six to a Box of Candles.
Notes
- Putting the flame out saves wax for later.
- A lit candle can light another candle or a lantern.
- It keeps burning in the inventory, so it drains even when not held.
- A burned out candle disappears.
