[Avodah] Making a Berakhah when Lighting for Shabbos Early

What should someone who forgot to make an eiruv tavshilin (or ate the food
already, the food went bad, etc...) who for some reason can not rely on
the rabbi's communal failsafe eruv (perhaps he isn't in a neighborhood
with an observant community) do for lighting Shabbos candles?

So, the BY (OC 537:19) permits, but he says "veyeish oserin". The AhS
(se'if 28) names the oserim as the Rosh and the Ran, and that the SA
names the Rambam (via a diyuq halashon)as his source lehatir. The AhS
then questions the diyuq, but says it should be allowed anyway, since
one gets hana'ah from the neiros while on YT too.

So I'm wondering about this... If someone uses existing lights, ones you
used while still Friday, what "lehadliq" is she making a berakhah on?
Yes, there is light for enjoying the Shabbos meal, all the same shalom
bayis. But there is no actual pe'ulah to make the berakhah on. Is there?

Tir'u baTov!
