Love that flash light.


Walmart has a 10 LED square lantern in the camping
section which comes with the first square battery,
here they are $5.47, and the battery lasts about
70 hours (yes, I sacrificed one for testing.)
You can have any color, as long as it's black.
That's good for around the house, or car use. Long
reach beam, helps see racoons in trees, or burglars
in the back yard. Far too large for pocket carry,
but you could rig a shoulder strap maybe. Belt
carabiner.

We have a couple of lantern type lights, too, plus various smaller
pocket size flash lights, and a generous supply of batteries for all
of them. I've even used outdoor dollar lights indoors at night when we
list power a few times. They make nice subdued lighting to get around
the house if needed.


I'm stocking up with LED flashlights, and replacing the incandesent
bulbs with LED bulbs. They use less power and give brighter light and
last forever. We won't use fuorescent lighting except in the garage.


I have 3 LED spotlight bulbs in my track lighting in my bathroom. One is
blue, one is red, and one is daylight, and I use them as a light source
for the plants I've potted up to overwinter. I built shelves in my
bathroom so I'd have a nice place for them, and the red LED light
specifically encourages more bloom production. I can already see that
the light combination is working because my geraniums are blooming, and
my begonias are putting on blooms like crazy. Since, the plants are
potted up from being in the flower bed all summer, I've added venus fly
trap plants to catch any gnats or bugs that come in with the plants. I
haven't seen one stray bug and the venus fly traps are having a field
day munching on the gnats.


Cool...mother nature indoors! You have the touch Muggles! ^^
