I phased out candles decades ago. This time I phased out the oil
lamps and replaced them with LED lantern. We also have a few led
flashlights.

Never needed any of them this storm, thankfully. A couple of blinks
is all we had. Still cannot justify a generator. I'd do as well by
setting 1000 $1 bills in the garage and burn them when needed for
light and heat.
