Producing Light During Outages

A reader from Council Bluffs, Iowa, shares a cautionary thought regarding the use of solar lights for emergency purposes.

Be sure not to depend on bringing them in during a thunderstorm. Stay in the house when thunderstorms are in the area.

Instead, alternative options should be used during power outages caused by storms. Solar lights can be saved for long-term outages after the storms have passed.

Another option for emergency lighting is the use of light bulbs with built-in batteries. These bulbs can be charged every time the lamp is turned on and can run on battery power during outages.

Author's note: Consider alternative lighting options for power outages.
