For eme<span style=”font-size: 100%;”>rgency lighting we have two main sources: oil lamps, and battery powered head lamps.</span>
Every room has at least one candle in a holder, with a match book next/under/inside it. The candles are just there to get us to the cabinet where the oil lamps and headlamps are.
There are flashlights in the bedside table drawers, and in the storage cabinet near the oil lamps. Extra candles are also there.
I have an oil lamp ready to go in our upstairs bedroom. It is sitting in front of a mirror which will reflect the light. We have enough oil lamps so each major room can have one, or double up for group use.
We have one battery operated table light that we use in the kitchen and bathroom to keep glass and open flame away from items there. I want to get two more so that I can leave one in a cabinet in the kitchen and the main bathroom.
I have one solar powered light string, that stays outside charging, to be used under the cabinets in the kitchen or in the bathroom. <-Mood lighting for the bathroom. I don’t know how long it will last, though.
