ENB required.

I vote to include this in 2.0.0. As the creator, Tech has tested extensively and tacitly approves as well, so I have marked as such.

It requires ENBSeries to work as it's for ENBSeries Complex Particle Lights. So it should be Post-processing. Only replaces meshes.

I think you should consider redoing the vanilla candle glow texture.
I looked at this mod and thought it was much better than the vanilla glow, but I'm not sure I'm a fan of the lens flare effect.
Vanilla >> Candle Glow - Smaller Flare

My candles look like those on the right with Radiant - Candles ... using the Step ENB anyway.

Maybe one of my mods are outdated or improperly installed.

Step doesn't seem to touch this texture, so it's either a mesh issue or particle effects of ENB that we are using. @TechAngel85 would know for sure, since he is the lighting wizard.

I can't check right now due to work, but my guess is that's just a transparent texture to apply the colored glow around the light. Making it more transparent will make it lighter and less apparent. I can look more fully later.

So this is an effect texture attached to all candle flames. Not the objects, themselves, but the actual fire on the candle (mpscandleflame01.nif and 02). So all candles will have it. In the Step Guide, this texture is provided by vanilla, but the candle flame mesh is provided by Embers XD. The Embers XD mesh still uses the texture, however, does not provide a new one so vanilla is used. However, that doesn't mean Embers XD didn't make other changes that may have changed the way the glow is presented (like making it more transparent).

Long story short, try Embers XD, if you haven't to see if the issue is fixed and make sure it's providing the candle flame meshes (there's two of them). As such, I don't think I would make an edited mesh to include in Radiant, but a texture to tone it down isn't out of the question.
