A flame has a natural effect on us which is from a time when fire was security & life. Consider a lamp or nighlights which can be inexpensive in quantity. Tesco sell them £2 for 200, that's one each day for 5 years for £20, or for Scottish one every Christmas for 1825 years. Hot drinks also raise morale.
We get along better with our own spirit, company can be chosen by those with senior SIS ranks. When you can sit saying nothing & enjoy each other you are with your own kind of the seven spirits, soul mates.
