but I'm glad I had these plugged into the outlet, because I could see my way around immediately.
This has been the third time we've had a blackout at night with these plugged in, and the room was still visible because of these flashlights. You just have to remember to always keep them on and plugged in.
Just an FYI. I'm sure there are other products out there that work just as well or better.

Why do you have so many blackouts?

(12,213 posts)4. We get one or two a year. I don't know why. They never last long.
It's in the Los Angeles area, maybe just too many people living in one area?
Last night, I saw it surge a bit, then go out. So it must have been a power surge.
It was the whole neighborhood, not just our home.
