If someone, not on purpose, did not light chanuka candles at night, should he light during the day? With or without a brocho?

    To what end? A lit candle during the day isn't noticeable at all.

  • Do you have reason to believe there would be a difference if one neglected to light intentionally?

  • Perhaps including the parallel analysis in the question would strengthen it. Or it might reveal more about it for you and the future answerer to learn from.

Shulchan Aruch O.C. 672:2

שכח או הדד ולא הדליק [....] ומיהו הני מילי לכתחילה; אבל אם עבר זה הזמן ולא הדליק, מדליק והולך כל הלילה. ואם עבר כל הלילה ולא הדליק, אין לו תשלומין

If one forgot and didn't light, or purposefully didn't light [....] however, this is only lechatchila; if [the end of sunset] has passed and one didn't light, they should light for the entire night. If the whole night passed and they did not light, there is no makeup for it.

Lighting time is only at night, and it makes no difference if the lighting was missed on purpose or by accident.
