Alternative lighting

Post by ctrljay »

Is it possible to power your house lighting circuit with a Leisure battery through the consumer unit.( I would replace light bulbs with the new led ones that use less power and voltage?

Or is there a better way? Just wondering during power cuts we can be clever! I know cant power the whole house but lighting maybe?
We live in a unsustainable world, there must be a balance, poor people/rich people no more, only prepared people will make it!

Or just LED lanterns/ stick-on lights etc. far better and safer than candles.
