A light which a Jew will extinguish on Shabbat

Hi,

One may not turn on a light before Shabbat, even for a mitzvah like prayer, if he knows that a Jew will turn it off on Shabbat. However, one may turn it on if he is uncertain whether a Jew will turn it off.

(Rav Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe Orach Chaim 3:43)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
