Build your own emergency power/light system no skills needed

We use these USB lights in the bell tent also running off the power pack. They give off a cracking bit of light and have just invested in a couple more to keep in the stores in case of power outage at home.

That was my thinking too. More small powerbanks required to make the best use of them.

Indeed it does. I have a solar panel now that charges batteries and power banks- very successfully actually. We have a supply of battery banks that would keep us lit for at least a week.

Added one of these to the pile of lanterns.. it's a lamp / power bank and solar charger all in one ..

I doubt the solar panel is much cop but on mains it did take 3000mah to charge so guessing the battery is something like what they say....
