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 prefer the ceiling thing. More light into
the room.

The jug thing is fun for Christmas, some
friends had a string of milk jugs out, with
a string of old style Christmas bulbs into
the jugs (over the water line). Made a
string of milk jugs, each lit with a separate
color.

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 like that it gets rid of the dark or glare problem
associated with a direct flashlight beam. It is a very
gentle, non-blinding light

The LED lantern I have is at leas 300 lumens and you can easily read.

I've heard of using jugs with sunlight also.

Remember, the moon is really a lot more important than the sun, because the moon gives us light at night when we really need it.

Not to mention keep us from having constant 200 mile and hour
winds!

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.

I have a collection of antique oil lamps. All I need to do is kill a
baby seal and process the fat.

True. The blubber fat will also warm your body in winter.

Isn't it preserved in oil, until consumed at meals?

I've got one with 20 focused LED's and can get by with it to read.
I have a generator for longer power failures but only fire it up as
needed, usually for longer outages.

Lot of these older LED lanterns and flashlights were quite wimpy and
might advertise multiple LED's but not lumens. Most of us have those
free HF 9 LED flashlights that don't put out a tenth the illumination of
newer single LED lights.

I forget the details
A clear bottle of water fitted into a hole in the roof acts as a very
effective "solar light" - or skylight. Quite commonly used in the
slums of central Africa, South America, and the Philipines, among
other places. Brings the sunlight into dark windowless hovels during
the day.

Why go through all the bother? Just
stock dead kittens and burn them one
at a time as needed for light.

There is a lot to be said for free, or free with
any purchase. I give them away for Christmas.

I can leave one on at night for pee light, and not
be upset when the batteries corrode.

I've had everything, including harbor freight flourescents. Nothing works
anymore. Sometimes replacing batteries gets tiring.

I just bought a automatic hall light operating off 4 AA for a house. Kinda
neat. Has on or auto. Would be a good multipurpose light for things. $15
walmart.

I like to shine flashlights at jugs! It makes them appear bigger!
