It would probably save you money on power consumption in the long run

That's a pretty good reason. the USB bar would be much easier to set up too.

If I really wanted to save a little extra money, I could go back to using 2 candles though! I successfully used 2 candles to play dolphin wii games for quite a while :D

The only thing about the IR bar is that it isn't the best if you have a smaller screen. I have a small display, but the bar doesn't work if you're too close. So then I gotta back up and the screen is hard to see and I feel awkward- Also how do you use candles as sensors?

Yeah all you need is something that produces infrared light - in fact you don't even need two sources. A buddy of mine used to use his lighter for the few seconds it took to click on SSBB.

@Mr. Looigi To use the candles as an IR bar, you just need 2 lit candles with a similar distance as the Wii's IR lights. It's ~6 inches IIRC.

The wiimote will see the IR being produced by the candles and accept it as a Wiimote bar. Even used this technique to play Skyward Sword! (including a real "motion Plus" wiimote addon)

Skyward sword doesn't use the light bar past the start screen - the motion plus emulates it after that. Test it and unplug the thing after you pick your selection.
