[Avodah] candles and fire safety

[Rich, Joel via Avodah]

As RJR implies, I thought the key component of neiros Shabbos was enjoying their light (in contradistinction to neiros Chanukah); and as I learned as a kid every Pesach that my family was at a hotel (because my parents didn't have Pesach cooking utensils, dishes, etc. in their apartment), everyone lit in a common room (and then stayed a bit to get enjoyment from the light) because lighting in one's room or in the hotel dining room would have represented a fire hazard....

All the best from

Except if they were incandescent bulbs in the individual hotel rooms. In that case I was taught that the women make a bracha on the bulbs in their room
