 Candles while more dangerous will give you the vibe you need 
 Can't do candles unfortunately.  
 Idk but there are probably 2 stories that need to be told here. Why no candles? Why red bulbs? Try it and report back 
 My guess is red bulbs let the brain get its circadian rhythm going.  The candles interest me. Air quality issue maybe? 
 Or cats. Candles and cats do not mix! 
 Yes. Furry midgets.  
 ...that want to see everything burn  
 Ah! I checked my notifications out of order 🤣 
 Also good for mitochondria. We evolved on a planet around a red giant. 
 I have lots of midgets running around that would knock them over and set the house on fire.  
 Little human ones? 
 That too.  
 My cats manage to avoid the candles. Mostly. My boy is so clumsy. He can’t see well. 
 At least find some fake skulls to put some of them in. Don't buy the real ones though. 
 I use candles every night. 
 It's the worst.  
 Put them to work, like William Wonka did
