“‘Logic’ would would dictate that Hadlakos Neros for Shabos was only for the days of Chazal when they had no electricity.”
Rav Newirth (in Shmiras Shabbos K’Hilchasa) holds that a light bulb is Kosher for Hadlakas Neiros. My Rov holds like this as well. As a solution to possible problems of Brocha L’vatala, we light in a room that either has food (as candles are an enhancement to the shabbos feast) or in a darkened room, where the light is needed.
Interestingly enough, I once spoke to my Rov about the difference between Shabbos & Chanuka Neiros in the din of using a light bulb, and there is an interesting Chiluk.
5 points for the person that gets it right.
