Yes, that is an excellent way to handle sudden darkness at
work. I really like the squeeze LED lights that fit on a key
ring. After a couple moments, my eyes adjust to the dark,
and they are totally useful. I like your "aluminum tube"
description. The Red Cross lady who spoke at the emergency
prep seminar recently, she advises against candles. Too much
risk of fire. That's why I like the ones in glass jars. Much
safer, I think.

Work had lights, that time. Jim had told me that there had
been
times when the power had gone out at work, and at night, a
factory
turns dark real fast.

So the answer is a mini-mag - or other small light - on the
belt.
Mini-mags with the :LED replacement - because there is
nothing like
reaching for a flashlight and discovering that the old
definition
applies "An aluminum tube for the storing of dead
batteries" - at
least with an LED - you can get some light from near dead
batteries.
And that is the Word to the Wise. LED flashlights come
small enough
to put on your key chain, or otherwise "on you" (Or where
you can find
it by feel). I'm not as bad as my buddy, who has five
pounds of stuff
on his belt as 'routine.'

Finding my apartment was a matter of using the little light
left
in the flashlight to find the door at the far end of the
hall, and
backing up two doors. Enough light in the apt to find the
candles.
And then find the fresher batteries.

One effect of becoming more religious - lots of candles,
lots of
matches.

We will drink no whiskey before its nine.
It's eight fifty eight. Close enough!
