guttered
Flickered and faded
Guttered describes a candle that has burned unevenly, with melted wax flowing down the sides like water in a gutter: The guttered candles dripped wax onto the tablecloth.
A flame that guttered flickered and sputtered, often from a draft, threatening to go out.
Figuratively, something that guttered faded or died down: His enthusiasm guttered after the first setback.
