I live in Florida, and it's hurricane season! Last year I had a roof torn off, yet (because the power lines were buried) I didn't lose power for so much as five minutes. This year I'm in a house that had the opposite - power out for two days but no damage. Some were less fortunate... many areas had no power for over a month. Needless to say, I want to be prepared. This thread reminded me about how little stands between me and no light whatsoever.
I saw reviews for the Lightwave 3000 and 4000 lights that piqued my interest, with 600/700+ hours of runtime and enough output to make a dark room light enough to get stuff done. Obviously an interesting solution, especially the C version (since those suckers always seem to stick around on store shelves.) Still, it's only one option, and it *does* use fairly dated technology (not even regulated, even.) Is anyone familiar with any other lights or lanterns that can provide obscene runtimes with a minimalist battery supply?
