During a power outage, it’s a better option to use a battery powered flashlight as opposed to candles. Candles pose a fire hazard and must never be burned unattended.
That said, candles are inexpensive and readily accessible, so if you do decide to use candles, be sure to take the necessary fire safety precautions! Keep them out of the reach of kids and pets and away from anything that can burn.
