Fire by itself doesn't actually create light. To light upwardly the room, you lot'll add together a low-cal source on the lamp.

Create a Lite

Lights can exist added onto parts in Roblox Studio to make light. While there are dissimilar types of lights, this projection volition employ a PointLight, a light source that shines light in all directions.
