Some people like to keep a light stashed nearby, in a bag, etc. Some have a light in their pocket, but only when they are out of the house. I'm close to "always on my person" because I have a Nitecore Tube on my neckchain all the time, except when I'm in the shower. I suppose I need a keychain-sized light that is water resistant for those times!
I had three incidents in my life when I needed a light, but did not have one. Twice I was showering in the locker room in college when the power went out campus-wide and it was completely dark in the fieldhouse where I was. The emergency lights were only in the gym and the hallways and it was tricky making my way out of a slippery shower to my locker and then to the hallway. Another time in grad school, the power went out when I was in my lab building, which was a below ground. Again, complete, pitch darkness. That time I had a 2AAA Maglite because I had learned my lesson . . . except the batteries were dead! Never again!
