Question:
If some uses high quality candles for HUNNAKAH, is it LACHATCHILLA? Great light and clean. No mess.
Answer:
Yes. A person can use candles for the Chanukah lights without a problem. There is a certain preference to using olive oil, because that is more similar to the miracle that happened, however candles are still just fine.
Best wishes
