you can light candles pre-shabbat, and you can also light a candle from another candle that was already lit... just not strike a match, because you're creating fire from nothing...
actually, you can't light a candle from another candle on shabbat, only in holydays, and only to make food (cook). or at least that was the primary intention, nowdays it's a comfort for the religious smokers.
