Candles are a type of furniture and light source. Candles can be placed on Tables, Platforms, Crates or Work Benches. Candles will produce light underwater if placed and can be toggled on and off by mechanisms.

Certain types of candles provide buffs or debuffs. The Water Candle is a special type of candle found in Dungeons which increases enemy spawn rates by 33% and the maximum number of simultaneous on-screen enemies by 50% when placed or held, and can be turned off ((Desktop, Console and Mobile versions)). The Peace Candle reduces spawn rates by 23% in the area and decreases the maximum number of simultaneous on-screen enemies by 30%, in contrast to the Water Candle. The Shadow Candle(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) nullifies the enemy spawn reduction benefits of towns in the area. For Water Candles and Peace Candles, multiple placed candles cannot stack, but the bonuses from holding and placing a candle do.

Notes

• The Water Candle can be placed underwater.
• The Water Candle will not give off light underwater if held in one's hand.
• The Water Candle's effects stack with those of the Battle Potion and the Blood Moon.
• The Skull Lantern appears to be the "bone" version of the candle, and its most notable difference is its size. While candles measure 1×1, the Skull Lantern measures 2×2. The Skull Lantern cannot be toggled on and off with mechanisms.
• The Large Dynasty Candle, despite its name, is not a candle but a candelabra.
• The Cactus Candle somewhat resembles the Pink Prickly Pear.
