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

We have an easy way to fulfill the mitzva without worrying about burning the
sukka. One of the long walls of our sukka is the wall of our house, which
has sliding glass doors to the yard. So I light on a little table that is
placed against the glass door right outside of the sukka. This way the
lights are not in the sukka and we see them as clearly as if they are inside
the sukka and their light shines into the sukka.

We also have bushes inside of our sukka, inside the other wall, which is a
fence. The bushes are cut short so they are not anywhere near the schach or
the pergola and the bushes help to make the wall less see-through and a much
more visually interesting wall.
