candles were invented to light up the houses of the colonists
The first candles were found in China around 200 BC, and were made from whale fat. Paraffin, which is the waxy substance used for candles today, was first distilled in 1830.
Candles have been used since ancient times, with the earliest known candles dating back to around 3000 BC in ancient Egypt. These early candles were made from natural materials like tallow or beeswax.
In England bayberry wax was refined for use in making candles. The earliest dipped candles were made of tallow. Not until the early 1800's was paraffin made to replace tallow as the main ingredient for candlemaking.A form of candles were used in China as early as 300 BC. Professional candle makers began plying that trade in 13th century Europe.
Candles were invented to provide illumination before the invention of electric lights. They were initially made from animal fat, such as tallow, and provided a convenient and portable source of light for indoor spaces.
Before electricity was invented, people used alternative sources of light such as oil lamps, candles, and torches to see in the dark. These sources provided enough light to illuminate small indoor spaces or outdoor areas, allowing people to navigate and see during the night.
I think Gearges Bunnot who invented candles also invented the scented candles.
they were invented in the 1990's.

No,they invented candles.
Keely Ersland, 17-year-old invented the first candle ever made. :)
He basically invented electricity, and he invented the light bulb. If it weren't for him we would still be using candles.
No they did not as electricity was not invented back then. They used candles or wood for light and heat. =)
yes because they didn't have to light candles anymore
