Reminds me. I've got a 12 volt UPS, been meaning to buy a marine trolling
battery, and wire that in as the battery.

I'd like a light, that uses small bit of power to hold open a relay. When
the power goes out, the relay relaxes, and powers a battery flash light. No
nicads to replace every few years.

I have CFL desk lamps plugged into the UPS units on our computer
equipment here at The Crotchety Old Farts Lair so the lights stay on
when the power goes out. I have dozens of UPS units and use them for all
sorts of things. I work on computer systems and folks toss the UPS
units when all that's needed is a replacement battery. I took a load of
bad AGM batteries to a recycler Friday and got $40.00 for them. A small
UPS for a computer will run a 13 watt CFL for quite a while. ^_^
