<div class="moz-cite-prefix">IIRC the gezira isn't relevant even in
the situation described. Someone who is used to reading by light
every day won't be tempted to tilt the candle. Only someone who
only has a candle on Friday nights will be tempted to "squeeze out
every drop". <br>
<br>
So you, being a resident of the First World (I believe that Miami
qualifies as First World) could still read. <br>

<div>My impression was that the issur of reading by
candle-light is only if you are alone. If someone else is
there with you, they'll warn you and stop you if you start
to move the candle closer or adjust the wick. Am I
mistaken? </div>

<div>And PS the issur /is/ still relevant, there have been
times when the Shabbos clock went off and the only
available light for reading was a candle on the table and
everyone else was asleep and I said to myself, "OK lady
you're out of luck, if you want to keep reading now you
will have to go to sleep and dream that you are reading."
