If both options.candlelighting=true and options.location is specified, Chanukah candle-lighting times and minor fast start/end times will also be generated. Chanukah candle-lighting is at dusk (when the sun is 6.0° below the horizon in the evening) on weekdays, at regular candle-lighting time on Fridays, and at regular Havdalah time on Saturday night (see above).

Minor fasts begin at Alot HaShachar (sun is 16.1° below the horizon in the morning) and end when 3 medium-sized stars are observable in the night sky (sun is 7.083° below the horizon in the evening).
