Chanukah candles should be lit after dusk, approximately 25 minutes after sundown. This is the considered best time to light.
If one is unable to light around this time or slightly after, it is permissible to light the candles and say the blessings, during the entire evening.

∙ 13y agoThe Menorah should preferably be lit immediately at nightfall. If necessary, however, the Menorah can be lit late into the night. It is best to wait until all members of the household are present to light the Menorah. The Menorah should remain lit for at least 30 minutes after nightfall. On Friday afternoon, the Menorah should be lit before candle lighting.
