Candlelighting tonight is at 4pm. Shabbat terminates at   5.14pm or   5.29pm Rabbenu tam time.
Astronomical Sunset is at 16:15:42

Why do I put the time of astronomical sunset? Although for women Shabbat must begin at the customary time of candle-lighting, which is an addition to Shabbat
 ( women light 15 minutes in advance of sunset, and this is the published time on calendars), men are not bound by this stricture, and may continue the weekday period for a bit longer if necessary, while taking care, of course, not to be mechallel Shabbath. Men living alone are obligated to light Shabbat candles, but may light them at any time before sunset - although pushing things to fine is not to be recommended, as Tosefet Shabbath - adding to Shabbath - is considered to be a good thing.
