Just flashlights and candles for me. Nothing fancy. I'm pretty comfortable in the dark. Rarely carry much of a light when camping, hunting or doing other "normal" activities that put me out in the darkness so when the power goes out it's really not that big of a deal. I don't require "comfort" lighting... just a little light for when I reall need to see something well, so flashlights and candles seem to be more than enough. I have been through a 10 day blackout with nothing more than that with no problems. Sometimes I think it would be cool to have an ultra-bright lantern. Maybe the battery operated cousin to the old Coleman eye-blinding camping lanterns. But then I figure I would never use it and spend the money on something else. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
