It is forbidden to light or extinguish a flame during Shabbat. For this reason, you would not blow out the Shabbat candles. You would let them burn our themselves. There are Shabbat candles specially made for this that will burn for about 3-4 hours, a perfect amount of time to stay lit during dinner, but allow you to go to bed without worrying about leaving a lit candle.

∙ 14y agoAssuming you mean the Shabbat candles, most Jewish communities traditionally light two (unmarried people will usually light one, some families light an extra one for each child) 18 minutes before sunset on Friday evening.
Another candle, braided with multiple wicks, is lit at Havdalah ("separation" from Shabbat) on Saturday night when three stars are visible in the sky or at nightfall.
