The Barnyard Lamp from Cats and Dogs has a candle in it but doesn't work with the trait

Could I add to this issue that some lights, though they work as candles, are not registered by light controls as candles? 
I've added a photo attachment for clarity.

 

Thanks!

I came here to report the jungle chandelier which has already been mention in the first post but also some candle from get together.

 

- The photopollution beacon (wall light in the form of 2 candles) and the photopollution ceiling light (a chandelier with 4 candles)

Both came with gettogether and should work as they are candles.

- The wheathered lantern from jungle adventure (portable lamp) should also work, as it is not plugged into the electricity. The version from out door retreat works and I would expect both portable lamps to be treated the same way.

- 3 Senses Oil Lamp (base game)

 

On a side note, it would be nice if candles/lamps also had a 'works off grid' line in their discription, just like plumbing.

@atreya33  If you look closely at the Get Together lights, they're actually electric lights designed to look like candles (but they're not actually candles).

I am wondering why the rustic candle chandelier from jungle expansion doesn't work on off the grid but the medieval one does?

I can't find anywhere else, and don't want to start a new thread, but it seems that the "functional while off grid" is a complete lie. Anything outside of candles won't work off grid. Every single item that has the "functional while off grid" says it cannot be used off grid. And I had to place each candle light to find the ones that do work. (No mods, no cc, everything else works fine.)

PS4 & PC both have the same problem with the off the grid candles & oil lamps being a lie & I find it infuriating how hard it is to trial & error through the process of finding lights that work. I've been using almost exclusively the Vista light from Outdoor Retreat on a wall shelf in every room kluge a solution for lack of wall or ceiling lights. What baffles me though is why the citronella candle from the yard pack doesn't work. It is clearly a candle & obviously that would work. Or why the gas lamps don't work when your (Outdoor Retreat) gas stove does. How can I make a grilled cheese cooking with gas but I can't light a lamp to read a book? That's just inconsistent in so many ways.
