  I'm realy not sure what you're looking to create. You might try this.

Place your camera on a tripod. Take a time exposure [use the bulb seting]and just before you release the shutter pop an off-camera flash. The time exposure will address the low light and allow the candle to be "seen," the flash will instantaneously capture everything in its view.

Dusk will be tricky. You'll be opening up wider and wider as the light fades away.
