Huh, there's a coincidence ;), I have a 4d maglite under the car seat in case I breakdown at night and a 1500 lumen olight next to the bed for er, power cuts.

Last car I had maglite clips screwed to the car floor to keep it handy

Eveready ‘approach’ lights? I'm guessing post/path lights?

Battery/solar/rechargeable is all well and good and I have them all but I also have thousands of candles.

100 tealight candles in tesco are £4, 4 pence each so no real excuse for not having several hundred stashed and remember, candles always work, electronics can fail.

Yes, a bag of these is a prepper essential, for sure. I got a bag of 50.

For some reason,my photos are not accepted. Anyhow,here is a link https://www.bmstores.co.uk/products/ele ... -and-bulbs

Scroll nine rows down,and you’ll see the kind of thing I mean. Motion Activated Lights. Battery powered

Cheers. How long do the batteries last? I guess it depends, didn't you say you sometime use them instead of the regular light? I really hate going up step ladders these days, hard enough changing the smoke alarm batteries.

I upload photos I take on my phone to imgur, then post the image link in the Image. Other photos online I just put the image link in the same as that.

What I showed you is limited. There are other lights available if you search. The one I showed you is stuck on the top of a door frame.

Regarding photos… if it ain’t simple :lol: :lol:

Seriously, thanks for offering an alternative!

They come with a magnetic self adhesive disc so getting them down and putting back up is easy enough
