Batteries Not Required...

     Batteries this and plug in that...majority of what we use requires a power source of some kind to keep it operational as well as convenient.  When it comes to light, many of us just flick a switch or click on a button and walah...light! (is that how you spell walah?)  What do you do when there is no power?  Batteries only last so long unless you can recharge them (cough...solar panels...cough).  But, for thousands of years candles, in some shape or form, have been a source for illumination.

  My personal favorite...the tea light.  Its small but powerful in its light 'casting'.  They burn for 3-4 hours depending on which you get.  Best of all, they are CHEAP!  Ikea has 100 packs for sale for a measly $3.99.  Spend $100 on a Surefire flash light and it lasts a solid few hours;  spend $100 on tea lights and you could have light for over a year (10,000 hrs give or take).  So stock up and use these constantly.  Plus, they are unscented so no attracting lovely lady Zombies.  TKZ_out.
