Question:  At what time should one light Hannukah candles?

Answer:  The  Talmud Bavli (Shabbath 21b)  states that one should light Hannukah candles "mishetishqa’ haHamah", i.e. immediately after the sun has set completely. (Rav Avraham Ben HaRambam clarifies that “sh’qiyath haHama”  (Shkiat Hachama) is the moment when the entire disc of the sun dips below the horizon).
