I have a couple of LED torches with the switch bridged by a 10M resistor
so that they glow continuously. That way after dark adaption you can
find them in total darkness. Where I live is seriously dark if the mains
fails. I have two emergency lights - kitchen and dining room.

That's a dead good idea and I might steal it from you. I have candles
and cigarette lighters in strategic places where they can always be
found without tripping over any furniture on the way. For a non-smoker
I seem to have a lot of cigarette lighters around: but apart from
candle-lighting on power-off days, I use them for odd jobs in the
workshop.
