A candle at high altitudes would burn dimmer compared to the same candle at low altitudes. This is because the oxygen concentration is lower at higher altitudes, which affects the combustion process and results in a less efficient flame. Additionally, the reduced air pressure can lead to a weaker draft, further diminishing the candle's brightness.

Would a candle burning at high altitudes burn dimmer brighter or essentially the same as the same candle burning at low altitudes?

Essentially the same. Unless you go to the top of mount Everest where oxygen is scarce. The atmosphere has 21% oxygen by volume, as you go up in altitude the air expands in volume and "thins out", however at sea level a candle needs only 12-15% oxygen content in air to burn brightly. This amount increases as you go up in altitude because there is less air, the air pressure needs to be reduced by 50-60% for this to affect the candle's combustion, or brightness. That corresponds to an altitude of about 7500 meters (4.7 miles) above sea level, or somewhere in the Himalayas.
