Light bulbs or Candles... Which is more cost effective?

Asked by aaronb (21points) October 30th, 2008

Recently I have got into candles in a big way… Not sure why. The other day I was buying a big candle that lasts 40 hours and costs £1.50 and I realised that I don’t know how much it costs per minute or hour to have my light on? Is it more cost effective to use candles than it is light bulbs? I live in the UK and my electricity is supplied by British Gas so obviously this will be an important factor to take into account but overall is there a clear winner on cost?
