We're an order with tradition. No newfangled LED lights. Use those bulbs the way it's been done as far back as anyone can remember! Chuckle.
Candles are very nice and give an aura to a degree, but they are a fire hazard. Most jurisdictions now have the lesser lights on a single pedestal yet century old pictures show each light on its own pedestal. I take it someone tripped, knocked down a candle and lit some building on fire once decades ago to trigger the switch.
