The nifty thing is you can have lights pointing in all directions from one invisible sphere just as you would have a sphere of light emanating from a fire.  You just move the sphere around and all the lights follow - much easier than trying to move 8 lights around. If you look at the product available here which comes with fire props and lights, that is exactly how it is done.

If you just use a point light, make it yellow and it works then fine, fair enough, that works and yes done. I didn't realise that there was a right/wrong answer. I was suggesting something that may work better than a simple point light - and it's free so if it doesn't work then nothing lost.
