Not sure if it still exists in 5e but back in my day there was a skill that would allow you to activate a magic item you normally couldn't, including spoofing your alignment.

So a CG trickster cleric could conceivably BS the candle into letting her get its benefits. Including being able to Gate in a Genie...

Edit: Also, if it's sitting around in a red dragon's collection, it probably doesn't match his alignment, or he would've just used it himself.
