With the energy crisis and talk about blackouts, I am thinking about getting a light source for when/if the power goes out. Even if there's no blackout, it will be good to have if there's a storm.

Currently when the power goes out, we use candles and flashlight at home.

I am looking for an alternative or a brighter light. I love working on hobbies/crafting/knitting and the idea of a power cut and poor light for my hobbies doesn't appeal to me.

I'm exploring the idea of a hurricane oil lamp or a gas mantle lamp.

What do you think. What kind of light can I get for if a power cut happens.
