Did the glass candles burn during targaryen era before the dragons died?

[Tyrosh Lannister]

I'm talking of the period Aegon 1 ruled Westeros with 3 dragons or during the reigns of jahaerys 1 or viserys 1 that had the most number of dragons . Did the glass candles of the citadel burn then ? Surely someone would have managed to light one ?

 

Reason I ask is because after Danys dragons were born (after over a century where no dragons existed) , magic became stronger in the world allowing marwyn to light a glass candle

There does seem to be some correlation:

Apparently the glass candles stopped burning around the time that the last Targaryen dragon died. The ones at the Citadel were reportedly brought there a thousand years ago (Feast prologue). So it does seem that they were in use for a very long time, probably since before the Valyrian Empire rose to power.  But we don't know much about their history.
