When to light

Most communities light the menorah shortly after sunset. In other communities, the menorah is kindled after nightfall. For more information please see When to light the Menorah

where to get oil or candles

You can use regular olive oil like you buy in the grocery store. For candles, you can use any candle that burns long enough to stay lit for at least half an hour into the night.
