When attempting to add a warm, ambient glow to your immediate surroundings the options are generally confined to light bulbs, candles or full-on bonfires. The latter two are not to be recommended in this day and age, primarily because there's a good chance your house could burn to a cinder. Of course, light bulbs are all well and good, and they do exactly what they say on the tin. The problem is, they're about as interesting as, well, light bulbs!
