This is amazing. Can we get clarification of which sects use this phrase and which do not?

That's what I understand it as. I don't think I ever heard anyone say it that way, but not hard to grasp. It sounds like the American slang version of it.

Ok ok not so fast.

It’s not an expression I use but my Mother in law uses it. Most probably she says licht tzinden and it’s all the same to me :D

My mother uses "lichtzind." I can ask her if she got it from my grandmother, though that is not likely being that my grandmother didn't light candles most of the time. More likely my mother got it from one of her teachers.
