Emergency
Lighting: What do you do when the power goes out?
I have already recommended in prior articles the
installation of emergency backup lights for the home that will come on
automatically if the power goes out. There are nightlights that will come on
when the lights go out and rechargeable flashlights that you can plug into wall
outlets.
I liked the following for its unobtrusive
profile.
LED 2.1W Low-Profile Emergency Light | E-XML2 Series |Battery Backup | White $ 15.99

I keep flashlights and a battery lantern in the
bedroom and candles/lighter/matches in the living room on display.
Somewhere out in the garage is a Coleman Gas Lantern
that uses a gas cylinder. It is hanging on a south wall, so I know its
approximate location. Recently my niece
suggested using solar yard lamps for inside the house. She bought some when she was prepping for a
hurricane and possible power loss.
I have
a Coleman rechargeable lantern in yet another building. Need to find it ASAP.
After doing a little research, I found this online
article.

Once
you visit the site, you just might want to browse other interesting articles by
going to the home page. Alas, right now, I just do not have the time; I am on a
mission to complete this entry.
PS: My niece said to put the solar lights outside in the sunshine during the day and bring them back in at night. She bought a dozen at $1 each at Walmart and they worked great.
