Hi All,

Since my wife saw this, we have used it in several
power outages. Just shine a flashlight at a
clear jug of water. Presto! A lantern:

I guess it helps, but I have a couple of LED lanterns that are bright
and last a very long time on a set of batteries.


I've got a couple of LED lanterns too and they are OK to find your way
around or have comforting light but even with a couple of dozen LED's,
there is not enough light to read by. Like my old Coleman gasoline
lantern but only if weather is cool as heat can be a problem indoors
during the summer if power fails.

I got a 12VDC flourescent lantern somewhere. I also have a 12 V little
car fan and a deep-cycle 12 V battery kept on a charger. I use these when
the power goes out. Doesn't happen that often but it is very handy when
it does. Light is bright enough to read by.
