Use Battery Lights Instead of Candles For Power Outages
I used a headlamp, a flashlight worn around my head during a power outage. I could read by flashlight, and if I didnt need it for reading, I put the light down on the book shelf and provided light for the room.
Be Ready for a Nighttime Power Outage
Also make sure you put a flashlight in an easy reach spot and have glow in the dark paint on the flashlight so it can glow and you can find it easily.
