Had nasty storms last night and lost power for a few hours. Got to play with flashlights a bit and found out what I have found in the past. The handiest light of the bunch was my headlamp. I did dishes using it, and sat reading with it for several hours. I find I prefer it to a lantern even when it is just myself, a lantern is better when there are several people in the room that need lighting.
I got out the lantern and we used it once my wife got home from work after midnight and it worked fine too. She said she used her headlamp at work to do paperwork and check patient rooms, she is a nurse and was the envy of all the others. She also used her RR 2AA flashlight to good effect and her Fenix P1 lit up the parking lot fo all the nurses and aides to go to their cars.
I do have to say in the blackness of outside with no lights from neighbors houses I was very impressed by the Ultrafire C3 and the light it throws for a one AA cell light. It lit up farther and more than I thought it would initially.

I munched on popcorn I made on the stove while reading, there was plenty for everyone.
