In case of outages my PACE for lighting is... <br />Primary: throw the switch<br />Axillary: combination of LED lanterns & 12v LED lamps that can be recharged with mini-solar panel.<br />Contigency: kerosene & coleman lanterns<br />Emergency: candle lanterns<br />I've moved away from open flames due to the fire hazard and carbon monoxide fumes. <br /><br />Other plans to keeping warm when the power goes out is covering your windows and doorways (especially those patio doors or bay windows) with a layer of thick plastic and a blanket. This does two things, work as a thermal & vapor barrier AND doesn't let everyone in the neighborhood know you have "lights".<br /><br />Finally, don't overlook kerosene heaters or even small tent stoves like the 1950 Yukon, or similar yukon or sheepherder tent stoves. These can be run out of windows or up a fireplace chimney with a little modification - check out youtube for many people who have done this as their emergency heating. Yankeeprepper use to have a video just on using the M1950 Yukon stove as a home heat source.<br /><br />Just had to add my worthless thoughts.<br />TontoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
