Had to choose between a $2 candle and a $40 LED lantern for reading at night

I picked the candle because I wanted zero electronic glow, and honestly my eyes feel less strained after 3 hours of reading. Has anyone else swapped bright lights for a simple flame?

Read something years ago about how candlelight has that warm amber spectrum that matches the sun's sunset glow, which supposedly tricks your brain into winding down. Makes total sense why your eyes feel better after three hours, that blue light from LEDs is brutal on the retinas.

Respectfully disagree @paul330, think it's more about the lack of flicker than the color.
