From what I've seen it doesn't have an effect when only in inventory, and holding one appears to work, but I can't verify beyond reasonable doubt that it stacks with a placed candle or that it does indeed lure more mobs. My assumption is that the debuff icon is only shown for placed ones, but that actively held ones will also have that effect.
