Do the math, running 2 100 watt light bulbs for 8 hours per day will produce the same heat and at my rates cost me 17 cents per day, 8 candles per day at 16 for $1 is $0.50 per day, even if you buy them 100 at a time it's still more expensive then what we think of as expensive (electric) heat!

For $20 you can buy a medical heat pad, 50 watts and it will heat whatever you want till it's hot, sit on it, put your feet on it, set it on your lap or back and it costs a fraction of heating with candles, pretty much anything is cheaper then heating with candles!
