I know somewhere I saw a tutorial for how to create the proper lighting effect for a candle, but I can't find it now. Azl used to have a wonderful lighting tutorial posted, but it's gone (at least I can't find it) and I don't remember if it addressed the issue of candles or not. I suppose I could use one of dodger's torch lights shrunk down (haven't tried that yet), but what I am thinking about is that so many people do lovely candle lit effects that someone might be able to share how they are doing them.

The effect I'm going for, more or less, in the graphic attached.
