candleLighting

A method to return candle lighting time, calculated as .getCandleLightingOffset minutes before sea level sunset. This will return the time for any day of the week, since it can be used to calculate candle lighting time for Yom Tov (mid-week holidays) as well. Elevation adjustments are intentionally not performed by this method, but you can calculate it by passing the elevation adjusted sunset to .getTimeOffset.

Return

candle lighting time. If the calculation can't be computed such as in the Arctic Circle where there is at least one day a year where the sun does not rise, and one where it does not set, a null will be returned. See detailed explanation on top of the AstronomicalCalendar documentation.
