[Avodah] Rav Elyashiv - Where To Light The Candles For Succos?

[Prof. Levine]

 From http://revach.net/article.php?id=1090

Rav Elyashiv (Halichos V'Hanhagos) holds that you must optimally 
light Shabbos and Yom Tov candles in the Succah. If you cannot, you 
must light it in a place where the light of the candles gives off 
light into the Succah. If that is not possible then you should light 
candles in the place where you prepare the meal or any other room 
that you will use. However the bracha should not be made when 
lighting those candles. What should be done is that immediately 
afterwards you should turn on the Succah lights and make the bracha then.

I note that there is no mention of making sure that the candles, 
which will be outside and at times unattended, do not cause a fire.

Rav A. Miller said more than once, "If a woman cannot watch the 
candles after she lights them, then it is better not to light them!"
