The temperature (indegrees Fahrenheit) and illumination (in % of one candle power)decrease as your distance (in feet) from the candle increases. Infact, you have tables showing this information. (tables are in thetext).

You are cold when the temperature is below 40â—¦. You are in thedark when the illumination is at most 50% of one candle power.
