Then if you do happen to knock it over, cause it's not always people that do this - my cat set fire to his tail a couple of weeks ago climbing over a candle to get out the window - the water will put the flame out.

I've found that putting a tealight in a jar (hadn't thought of floating it in water though,) seems to increase the light given off - every little helps. Maybe it just reduces the flickering effect but that's equally useful.

BM, can't contact you any other way but any joy on the stove?
