Week 10: Flashlights

Bookmark and Share

Keep a small flashlight in your car, purse and briefcase. No matter where you are at, you will have a source of light.

Examples of flashlights (if you use a battery operated one don’t forget the batteries):

Costs vary from $2.99 and up, depending on model and features. The average self powered light is $35.00.

Remember the other sources of light that may be around your home:

  • Cell Phones can be a great temporary source of lighting in a pinch.
  • Camping lanterns – include extra fuel, wicks, mantles and waterproof matches.
  • Light (Glow) sticks – these can provide light for one to 12 hours and can be purchased at camping supply stores.
  • Candles – placing these in glass jars taller than the candle provides extra protection if the candle is knocked over. Remember that the glass can become very hot.
