Anyone here read by candle light? Seems comfy at night time, but is it too dark to read? I don't want to strain my eyes

It's pretty easy to do if the candle is the correct size and height.

I've only read by candlelight when the power was out, and even with a shitload of candles it is very dark and hard to see, you will strain your eyes doing it. Hell even reading near a fireplace is dim compared to a single electric bulb, and you can get uncomfortably hot doing it too.

I use a head-mounted menorah for maximum intensity.

No need when bedside lamps exist. You can find good powerful candles now but it's still not that good on your eyesight.

Are you some contrarian hipster faggot or something? Get a fucking night lamp and stop acting like an enormous faggot. Candles are inefficient, useless and potentially dangerous.

Candles can be comfy but they really don't give off enough light to read by. Just get a warm bulb and maybe a dimmer switch.
