Why does verb "faiblissent" agree with "bougies" and not "la lumière?   La lumière des bougies"?

I notice the omission of any article to go with jeux in the phrase 'l'opportunité d'essayer différents jeux'. Is this something to do with the word différents? For example, if there were no adjective, you would surely say 'l'opportunité d'essayer des jeux'...?

As the 'jeu de société' would presumably have been brand new why isn't the adjective 'neuf'?

Thanks

The title of this exercise is "En segway dans le parc", but I was wondering why it was not "À segway dans le parc", as I understood "en" is used with forms of transport we get inside like en train, en bus, en voiture, en kayak and en avion; but "à" is usually used for forms of transport that we ride or walk without physically entering first e.g. à pied, à vélo, à moto and à cheval; and I thought segways would logically fit into the latter category? 

to think of someone is both de and a int he examples, is there a way to know which to use?
