would it be possible to use only candles?

Question

Thinking of building a small house and at night using candles to light it, I do not plan to be up late and I do plan on waking up early in the morning so that I can work around the land. Im looking into self sustainability, and I think if I am up late enough for the sun to be down I will be on my laptop watching shows or something so that would be a low energy expenditure compared to a T.V. but I digress, would candlelight be sufficient in my situation?

Try it sometime, where you're living now.  Candles are very unsatisfactory, even for a midnight bathroom run.

Since you will have a power source anyway (for your laptop), LED lighting would be far more satisfactory, and probably cheaper in the long run.

I'd suggest an oil lamp rather than an open flame candle.  Safety reasons if for nothing else, although a oil lamp may not be much better.
