Light During an Electrical Outage

I don't use candles or little flashlights. I get those big flashlights from Dollar General that take one of those great big batteries. I keep one in the living room, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. That way I am prepared. When the lights go out I set turn on the flash light and set it on the flat bottom, pointed towards the white ceiling. That reflects more of the light downwards. It also helps to place the flashlight in from of a mirror to double the amount of light
