Keeping things Lit!

[Ghost Prepper]

Just wondering what sources of light everybody uses? i have a few Ultre Bright Led torches and a spotlight or 2, but does anybody have anything else?

i know about candles and fires ETC. but what about the hard to come by things?

im currently ordering Glow Sticks and Yellow Lense Cycling Glasses. does anybody have NVGs in their Inventory / BOK?

I Have ordered military grade chemlights and A TON of candles.

Wind-up lanterns (LED), torches (LED), and latterly 72 LED Rolson camping lights. These are awesome. They chuck out light on minimal power. A lot will use candles-We have them. However, they are a major fire risk, because most folks in a power cut will use them. And most folks are stupid. They really are last resort.

We have lots of candles torches wind up rechargeable you name it, and Jansman's right, I was chatting with a former fireman the other day and he told me of a fire risk no one mentions much yet they try all they can to warn of it... remote controls down the side of the sofa, buttons get pressed fresh batteries get really hot and sofa goes up, along with everything else, we used to be really worried when my father in law smoked in bed and saw the duvet cover 's burns, we're not used to dealing with fire and our homes are tinderboxes these days.

head torch x 5
hand torch x 6
coleman lamp x 1
wind up lantern x 1
arc lamps on a stand x 2 , these run off the small genny so i`d have to be desperate to use them .
and load of candles as a last resort , as been said , fire risk .

i have to admit jansman like you say fire is a major risk, you would only need one house to go up and it would be very difficult to control the spread,be even more of a nightmare if you lived in flats or apartments, sorry to go off topic,back on i have lots of glow sticks, wind up lanterns,torches,head lamps and candles as last resort
