A Kosher Hanukah menorah is when 8 candle holders are in one line with a ninth Shamash, out of placed in height or position on the 9 branched menorah.

Shabbat Candles that could be used for the lighting of the Shabbat Candles or placed here and there on the tables. Shabbat candles are candles lit on Friday evening before sunset to usher in the Jewish Sabbath. Lighting Shabbat candles is a rabbinically mandated law. Candlelighting is traditionally done by the woman of the household, but in the absence of a woman, it is done by a man. After lighting one candle with a match then the second candle with the first-lit candle, the woman moves her hands over the candles and towards her (as if bringing in or guiding in the Sabbath); she then covers her eyes and recites a blessing. (The blessing she would say is the initial prayer after the candles have been lit) https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/633659/jewish/What-Is-Shabbat.htm |
