Keep in mind that all of these definitions can also simply mean "fire".

La llama = Flame that was ignited from a bigger fire.

La llamita = Candle flame

La lumbre de tus ojos = the fire of your eyes ("la lumbre" and "la llama" can be used figuratively)

La hoguera/ La fogata = Campfire

El incendio/ El fuego = Fire (the kind that you call the firemen for)

Fuego is more like the element fire.

Lumbre is just a fire.

Incendio is a big, destructive fire.
