How does the sound change if you use a candle or some other analog light source? (or even a DC battery with a non-LED light?)

If it is a solid light there is no sound. It is the change in light value that makes the sound. A candle flame would make a wobbly electric signal that you could use as a control on a CV modular synth but it wouldn't be much of an audible sound on its own.
