The times to light and extinguish Shabbat candles are based on local sunset. So what you really need is a way to compute the sunset time for any location on a particular date.
As I understand it, candles are lighted 18 minutes before local sunset. So once you compute the sunset time, just subtract 18 minutes and you’re there.
