I really enjoy candles and the ambiance the light creates compared to electric lights.
It is a really soft and relaxing light! Some people even use candles as a method of keeping time.
Really?  Who are these people and why would they have to use candles as time keepers?
I'd imagine it was a long time ago, when we didn't have any better methods of telling time. Now it's used for aesthetics or producing heat.
Candlelit dining is the best.  There isn't anything to compare.  I don't think I would want to use candles as a heating source.  Would need a lot!
Oh yes, I agree! Candle manufacturers are traditionally known as a chandler.
