| Dec 9, 2012 at 19:09 | comment | added | Yehoshua | I have investigated this in the past but never really came to any conclusions or clear sources either way. At least from what I remember. I do have a few sources written down in my notes that I'll look through later. | |

| Dec 9, 2012 at 16:22 | comment | added | Yehoshua | that's the question and is the same discussion year after year. Each situation (lighting inside, outside, zmanim, etc) can be looked at in different situations. If one is lighting inside maybe one should anyway light by the ikar zman. Or maybe then it doesn't matter what time. And when lighting outside maybe we should stick to the ikar zman or perhaps since the metzias has changed we should then light later (or can light later.) | |
| Dec 9, 2012 at 15:27 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | @Yehoshua Maybe it has. Alternatively, maybe we stick to the original ikar zman when all else is equal (eg. when lighting on a table in your dining room) but when there is actual pirsumei nisa benefits, we change to the zman that fits nowadays. | |
| Dec 9, 2012 at 14:08 | comment | added | Yehoshua | If that's changed why hasn't the "ikar zman" also changed? I realized that's the answer to my question, I'm just pointing out that the whole thing is different now a days. So where is the advantage exactly of ikar zman and pirsumei nissa? | |
| Dec 9, 2012 at 13:58 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | @Yehoshua At their time, yes, but our travel habits are no longer tied to the sun so nowadays there isn't as much pirsumei nisa just after sunset in the winter. | |
| Dec 9, 2012 at 11:22 | comment | added | Yehoshua | Wasn't that time that Chazal made because of pirsumei nissa? (i.e. at this time there will be the most pirsumei nissa)? | |
