"My girlfriend loves when we have candles."

Translation: Min kæreste elsker når vi har stearinlys.

[trevro]

Chicks dig candles.

[Euhan1]

Why not "levende lys"? This seems like a better translation since it is not the technical detail of what material they are made of that we want to emphasise.

Stearinlys is the generic name on the packages of candles at stores. The candles may not be made of stearate, but the gasoline is not made of benzene either.
