Shayla Section - May one use an electric or battery operated light for Shabbos Candles and may one make a bracha on them?  A:  Although it is not ideal and only used in a situation where one cannot light a real fire, one may use electric light for Shabbos candles and even make a bracha on them.  Common time when one may need to do this would be in a hospital or hotel or even turning on the light in a closet when staying as a guest at another's home.
