Probably would. Again, I think the light was only part of it, the rest being that you're very limited in what you can do without electronics. Even if you make an exception for, say, putting on an album to listen to and then not messing with it (no skipping around or browsing music on a screen) there's still not a ton. And what's left might be lots of fun—you can board game in low light, certainly, and toss maybe ten candles around the room and you could play card games just fine, you can read sheet music and see well enough to play an instrument, you can write, and so on—but none of it's the kind of sensory assault of watching TV/Youtube/whatever or playing a video game is. Reading or practicing your scales isn't in the same sleep-banishing league as inviting a world-class acting troupe into your house for the evening to put on any show you desire, ya know? Or having some kind of answer-any-question-you-think-up-on-a-whim (kinda, almost, as long as you don't dig too deep) oracle available. Which is basically what the modern Internet is—anything you want, any time, wall-to-wall world-class performances of anything you like, answers to whatever dumb trivia pops up in your head, at a button press. Every stupid nagging thought can take hold and drive you to action at any time because it's actionable. Powerful, sure, amazing, sure, but a good (healthy) idea to let it loose in your home at all hours? I think not. I did try to find some sort of small desktop battery-powered incandescent nightlight for a while but all that stuff's LED now. Probably would be fine anyway, I just wanted the smooth and warm light frequency curve. May try the LED route some time, though even fairly weak ones are a hell of a lot brighter than two candles so you'd have to watch the wattage carefully to not end up with something that, in an otherwise dark house, is actually pretty damn bright.
