Outage ongoing since last night in Maryland, 200K without power.
Running the generator.
Pepco cannot bury the !#@ power lines so get these 2-3 times per year. Hard to say what's worse, summer or winter. Power line down right in front of my place.
The lites used are primarily my 6P clone with M60L which seems to run forever, 4D mag with Nite-Ize and head screwed ouf for flood, candles placed in strategic places. The generator is up most of the time but I don't have any lamps to plug in to light all rooms.
Need a D lantern actually. Bang per buck, it's the cheapest way to go. Not to mention the least dangerous.
Both of my Princeton Tech Apex HL are down, contact issues with the uber cheap design.
If it continues tonight, will set up more lites like MiniMags with that low powered module. Heads come off and you get flood.
One thing I learned is that dim lights are so depressing. I don't rely on them. Bright lites like Malkoff's ,et all, are encouraging.
