Removing particle lights from candle flames (Skyrim LE)

I run a modified NLVA preset on oldrim that uses particle lights because they're too awesome not to use and can run them more or less fine on my aging system except for areas where there is a high density of candles. I've been learning to use nifskope to examine the mpscandleflame mesh in the particle patch and have tried removing the particle light flag myself but not without visual bugs and need guidance on how to remove them for this mesh only.

Thanks I'll take my questioning over there though if anyone else has an input I more than welcome any help.

Edit: I figured it out in Nifskope. Just had to change alpha blend flag from 4109 to 4844 for the candle flame mesh in the particle patch. Now my performance is silky smooth whilst still retaining particle lights for the sources that I actually care about in game. Candles are hardly noticeable without the effect. Thanks.
