Interesting thought RE Light during urban scenarios

I've always carried a few cylume type sticks - and recently got a Glotoob. I almost did away with my cylume sticks - then I said "nope". Iremember the blackout - I was in the subway at the time - Times Square Station in fact. (just luck - I was in a train). At that time, the station was under construction, and there were large sections with NO emergency power

Now, I had a flashlight to get out, and I helped folks by lighting their way out - but I di one other thing (and was thanked by many people) - I took out a bunch of light sticks, lit them, and just LEFT them - Other folks could SEE - Amazing what a few light sticks can do - and you can leave them behind, which I'm NOT going to do with a glo-toob
