However, the Minhag of Klal Yisrael is have the women of the house light. <ref> S"A 263:2 writes that there's an obligation on men and women to have a light lit in their house on Shabbat.

# It's preferable to light with olive oil, if one doesn't have olive oil, the next best is all other oils that burn with a clear flame, and lastly, wax candles are also acceptable. <ref> S"A 264:6 writes that olive oil is preferable to other oils and Mishna Brurah 264:23 adds that wax candles are inferior to oil candles.
