Brief Halachot
- "Regular" candle lighting time is according to minhag, but typically assumed to be 20 minutes before Shkia (משנה ברורה או"ח סימן רס"א סעיף ב' הערה כ"ג) but in time of need can be done until 10 minutes before Shkia (קיצור שו"ע ילקוט יוסף או"ח סימן רס"ג סעיף מ"ז).
- Shabbat candle lighting can be done as early as Plag Mincha ('שו"ע או"ח סימן רס"ג סעיף ד) which is about 75 minutes before Shkiah (קיצור שו"ע ילקוט יוסף או"ח סימן רס"ג סעיף מ"ה). Even Sephardim, who don't normally accept Shabbat with candle lighting, would do so when lighting shortly after Plag Mincha ('שם סעיף א).
- Ideally, one who will say Arabit before nightfall ("early Shabbat") should say Mincha before Plag Mincha (משנה ברורה או"ח סימן רס"ז סעיף ב' הערה ג' וגם ראה ילקוט יוסף הלכות שבת חלק א' דף 204).
- Kiddush must be said in the place where one will be eating his meal ( קיצור שו"ע ילקוט יוסף או"ח סימן רע"ג סעיף א׳), which is to say eating a Kezayit of bread or cake, and as well there's room to be lenient and drink a Revi'it of wine (שם סעיף ט׳).
- One must say Birkat Hamazon in the place that he ate bread (קיצור שם סימן קפ״ד סעיף א׳) but one may start his meal in one place, leave for another location and continue eating his meal and say Birkat Hamazon in the second location (שם סימן קע״ח סעיף ה׳).
