Flashlight Enthusiast
I was trying to explain to someone the advantages of LED flashlights and why they cost so much. I asked if she had a flashlight home, she said no. eekI then asked her "so what would you do when electricity goes?" She said "go and get the candles." I was stumped.
The question is this: For an average household, are flashlights really necessary?
CANDLES: Very cheap. Always ready (no batteries to die). Lots of light.
If one does not need to go outside where there is wind/rain or if you don't have a yard (apartment bld) or if you don't really care about what's happening outside, then does one really need a flashlight?
If your argument is safety well, in all the years we have used candles when electricity goes, nothing has happened but then, we are not lacking in the common sense department. :shrug:
What do you guys think? How can I win such an argument?
Thanks.
