Help Her Out

Just as a man is supposed to help his wife with lighting Shabbos candles by preparing the candles, etc. he is supposed to ensure that the lights in all the other rooms are lit. The woman acts as his shliach when she lights, and as such, he is responsible for the other rooms that she doesn't take care of. So, erev Shabbos, the man goes around the house and makes sure that all lights that need to be on are on. However, a brachah is not made; his wife's brachah takes care of that.
