As we are now in the exciting window of hurricane season, perhaps we should focus on making sure we have some working emergency lights for those times when the power goes out.  Hopefully this will not happen, but of course we should be prepared.

Some emergency lights can be really quite interesting and unique like this one…

           This is an inflatable solar lantern – built for adventure! Light, waterproof and bright, it collapses down to just 1 in.

Others can be hands free like this cool headgear light:       You can find these two devises at http://www.REI.com

And then there are exterior solar lights that make cooking your dinner on the gas grill a really fun experience when the power is on or out!  Check out the moose solar string lights and the bear lantern.  Both are solar.

Both these lights can be found at http://www.cabelas.com

Probably the very best emergency lights are the more traditional options.  You will likely use this classic Coleman camping lantern many times…   

And last but certainly not least, make sure to have a really good flashlight or two in a place you can get to easily in the dark (don’t keep it in the garage where you have to climb over a car or fall over garage “stuff” to get to it).  This flashlight is powered by a single AA battery so it is easy to keep at the ready – and ready to go.  It’s compact and lightweight with a maximum output of 130 lumens and can throw a beam up to 88m (288 ft.)  This can also be found at http://www.REI.com.

So this hurricane season, stay safe and stay WELL LIT !
