Kingdom Hearts II
Beauty and the Beast (1991)

''The castle's maitre d'. He became a candlestick when an enchantress put a spell on the castle. Lumiere has a way with words and can be quite a charmer.''

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
Lumiere's role in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days is similar to that of Cogsworth. Both of them patrol the castle and keep watch for intruders, forcing Roxas and Xion to avoid their sight.

First Visit
After the events of Kingdom Hearts, the world of Beast's Castle was restored, Beast locked his servants in the dungeons after Xaldin came and tried to turn him into a Heartless. When Sora and the others came, they freed the servants and helped them save Beast from turning into a Heartless. Lumiere and the others showed them a shortcut to the Beast's room.

Second Visit
When Belle and Beast try to form a party to forget about what happened, Xaldin attacked again, and stole the Beast's precious rose. Then Lumiere, Cogsworth and Mrs. Potts told the heroes about the importance of the rose - Beast's last hope of finding love before the last petal falls from the rose.

Lumiere is then last seen observing the romantic dance between the Beast and Belle after Xaldin was defeated and the rose was returned safely. It is assumed that after Sora defeated Xemnas at The World that Never Was, Lumiere got back his human form (considering that the Beast got his human form back).

Abilities

 * Lumiere has no specific abilities but he is able to light the three lamps in the Secret Passage in Beast's Castle with the help of Cogsworth and alongside Sora and Mrs. Potts.

Quotes

 * "Is this the spot?" (When lighting the lamps in the Secret Passage)

Trivia

 * Lumiere's name is the French word for "light", apt for his role as a candlestick, though in the French language, this word is grammatically feminine. It may be a reference to the Lumière brothers who created the first moving pictures.
 * Jerry Orbach, the original voice actor for Lumiere is dead, however, archived recordings of his voice were put in the game, which is why Lumiere is still credited to be voiced by Jerry Orbach.
 * Lumiere's remark about Belle, "She is rather unique, isn't she?", is a possible reference to the original film's villain, Gaston, who openly believes Belle to be unique.
