Question
My wife lights the Shabbat candles, and I turn on the generator, which lights up the entire house. Can I also recite a blessing for my action?
Answer
In principle, one can bless for turning on the generator, but if your wife is reciting the blessing, you should not bless again. Only if the wife is not lighting should you bless for turning on the generator.
