Last year Sheldon posted a link to an LED emergency light. I bought a
couple as well as two LED night lights that come on bright when the power
goes out. Finally, I got to use them in a real life situation when a
transformer went out last night for about 4 hours.

Theses things are amazing. The small lights were plugging in on each floor
hallway. They give off enough light to easily find your way nearby and to
find the lanterns. The lanterns light a room very well and the batteries
last many hours

Keeping on topic. with these lights and a gas range, I'd be able to cook
anything during a prolonged outage. Forget candles or kerosene or other
flammables. This is the way to go.


You will find many other models and sources.

I bought those power outage emergency lights for everyone in my
family last Christmas. After the hurricane, they could all
appreciate a bright light that comes on automatically when the
power goes out.

I have many LED lights. Have one little on on my computer desk and a
smaller one still in my insulin case. Have some that look like lanterns and
others that have two weird looking panels on them, sort of like a butterfly.
Have pretty much one in every room plus three spares as some are old now.
Great for power failures!

Now you need one of those hand cranked radios. And for power outages
in winter you need a ventless propane heater to keep your pipes from
freezing, they are amazing.
