firelight
Flames' warm radiance
Firelight is the warm, flickering glow cast by a burning fire, especially from a fireplace or campfire.
The word evokes intimacy and atmosphere: Their faces glowed in the firelight.
It suggests a softer, more romantic quality than electric light—reading by firelight, shadows dancing in the firelight.
