Advice on lights for \"black-out\"
Summer is coming, I live in a little village which black-out occurs 2-3 times (5-48 hours) EVERY week, EVERY summer. I've got some flash lights running on 2 X CR123 / 4 X AA. They are bright but not so long lasting, the best runner is SL4AA (LED).
I need something big that runs on 3-4 C/D cells and can stand on end, for each living room. A flood light is prefered. I don't care about the material of the body but of cos it should not break or fail if I drop it. I don't want any rechargeable lights, feel helpless holding such thing when it run out of juice during black-outs......
I'm looking at products from Pelican and Streamlight as these 2 brands are available locally, so I can save $ on international shipping. The SL 3C sounds good on adv run time, but I've no idea on how it performs in real world.
Candles or anything that will burn is not suitable, my Yorkshire Terriers are too active.....
Thanks all for sharing.
