What's the effect of blowing candles?

I know it doesn't change anything about visibility, since Dishonored doesn't make any use of lights and shadows. So does it change anything wheter I blow the candles or not ?

Solution 1:

As you know they emit light and you are easier seen in light. So by blowing the candles, it will get darker and it will be easier to hide.

I do not think the candle above has any purpose since it is in a well lit area.
