My house lighting is all LED total wattage

this ice storm that is coming up. Not worried
about heat or the fridge, I have gas heater
backup and not enough in the fridge to worry
about. Are there approved ways of connecting
in the UPS that does not involve adding a transfer
switch. I was thinking about doing this with
outlets and plugs so I could unplug the light
circuit and plug it into the UPS.

I like your concept. I would also like to keep
my own lights on during power cuts. My best
advice is to invest in a couple flashlights and
wick lamps and some bottles of ultra pure.
It will not be as convenient, but it will be
dependable and provide a bit of heat.

I've heard of people stringing Christmas lights
around the house, run off a UPS or battery and
inverter. provides a bit of light for walking
around.
