IMHO using at least some media would give a better result.

"The lighting is off"? In what way? You need to be more specific since I
see no problems with the lighting.

These candles are .15 POV units tall. I model everything in a 1meter=1POV
unit scale. At this size, media disappeared entirely. Didna work at all.
Hence my compromise... a no-media candle flame.

In every way. Have you ever seen a lit candle in the dark?

The appearance of media depends on the distance you are seeing through
it(8 meters of constant smoke appears darker than 2 meters at the same
density). Media is still useful at other scales, you just have to make
it denser for smaller scales and thinner for large scales. If you have
something that looked fine at 1 POV-Unit to 1 meter scale and want to
convert it to 1/0.5 PU/m scale, just double the density.
