They had a ceramic wide-mouth vase that I would place a small, lit tea-light candle in without even thinking about it because it would make a cool effect on the wall and ceiling when the lights were low. I once had an apartment and some of the decor was given to me by the previous tenant. One careless bump of a lantern by you or a child, or setting a candle around something that it shouldn’t be around could mean the end of your daily home-ownership troubles! Not only that, you’re playing with fire in a situation where you can’t necessarily see everything, your mind is stressed from dealing with the power outage and upset kids, and you’ve got a dozen other things on your mind that need to get done - like how are you going to save the food in your refrigerator! The saying, “you’re playing with fire” couldn’t be any more real here. So why wouldn’t we want to stick with this method that’s been around for millennia? I would avoid open flame at all costs with children in the home! Though it might be a romantic way of lighting your house during a power outage, it can lead to disastrous results if you or someone else in the home are not careful. These are tried and true methods for providing light, and when the flame is a reasonable size, the risk of hurting the occupants within the house with harmful gases is minimal provided that your dwelling is reasonably ventilated or you take steps to make it that way. This can be driven by wax candle, oil or some sort of fuel for a lantern device. The oldest and simplest method of providing light and heat as a by-product would be an open flame. There are essentially two ways: By flame(candle, lantern), or by electricity(in the form of a generator, battery backup system, solar charged items with a battery, or small AA/AAA batteries for devices). The best lighting in a power outage is lighting that does not endanger the occupant of the household with excessive heat or flame, it does not threaten the air supply within the home with lethal or noxious gases, and is efficient with the power needed to supply the light. There are pros and cons to everything, and I’m going to go over some of them with you now. If you’re new to preparing for power outages, or if you find yourself in the middle of one right now and want to be better prepared the next time around, it might seem like a pretty easy problem to solve, right? Just some candles, and a flashlight and I’m good to go! We really have no idea how much we take this convenience of the last century for granted until we are in the middle of a power outage and keep flicking the light switch every time that we enter a new room. The most obvious thing that we all miss during a power outage is lighting-on-demand.
