📋 About This Mod
The five minute version works now, there was a problem with the file upload of the original. By request I added a two and five minute version of the spell. Only use ONE version at a time. Not sure how to disable autocalc yet so the mana cost is also greatly increased. *********************** Install ******************** (1) Put the .esp file into your /Data/ folder in your skyrimm install location. (2) At the skyrim launcher, click on Data Files, and make sure that longercandlelight.esp is checked. OR open %localappdata%\\Skyrim\\plugins.txt and add longercandlelight.esp to a new line. ******************** Uninstall ******************** Delete longercandlelight.esp ******************** Other Mod(s) *********************** Craftable Lockpicks Longer Khajit Night Eye

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with over 1,000 endorsements and 27k downloads.
- Three duration options let you pick your preferred balance.
- No complex setup—just pick your version and go.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2011—might not be compatible with the Special Edition or Anniversary Edition without tweaks.
- Only affects Candlelight, so if you wanted other light spells extended, this won't help.
- No in-game configuration—you have to choose a version before installing.
For Skyrim players who hate recasting Candlelight every minute while exploring dungeons. If you're on the original 2011 version, this is a must-have. Skip if you're on Special Edition or want a more configurable light spell overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using the Special Edition, check if the mod needs to be converted with the Creation Kit—many old mods work but require a quick re-save.
- Pick the 5-minute version as a balanced default; 10 minutes might make the spell feel too permanent.
- Load order doesn't matter much for this mod, but place it after any mods that alter the Candlelight spell for consistency.
