📋 About This Mod
Fixes a bug in the otherwise excellent Enhanced Lights and FX mod by anamorfus
https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/13596
The bug caused Workshop candles and lanterns to not emit light.
Kudos to goblinoid for spotting and sharing the fix.
Goblinoid says:
"For whatever reason, the light emitter FXGenericFireGlowLight, used by several light sources made in the workshop, was edited to have its radius reduced from 128 to 25."
So I changed it back to 128 and Made Everything Great Again.
A small patch for Enhanced Lights and FX that fixes dim candles and lanterns. With 145 endorsements and 35,324 downloads, it's a popular fix for a common visual issue. Last updated in October 2023, it remains relevant for current ELFX users.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved fix (145 endorsements) for a common ELFX issue.
- High download count (35,324) shows it's widely used.
- Simple, focused purpose—does exactly what it says.
⚠️ Cons

For Skyrim modders who use Enhanced Lights and FX and notice that candles and lanterns look too dim. If you're happy with ELFX's overall lighting but want brighter flames, this patch is for you. Skip if you don't use ELFX or prefer a complete lighting overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install this patch after ELFX in your mod manager to ensure it overwrites correctly.
- If you use other lighting mods alongside ELFX, test in a candle-heavy area like an inn to see the effect.
- Make sure your load order places this patch after ELFX's main files.
