Are you ready for the next storm?

When the power goes out and darkness comes lighting is one of the most important items to have.  It is not only a safety item but also a comfort item.  Here are a couple of lights that I use and have test while camping.  Both worked quite well so I highly recommend them.  The one of the left is a two light set up that will plug into any USB power bank.  They put out plenty of light and only uses 8 watts of power.   These can be plug into a cars USB jack, a power station, or any USB power bank. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B097SRDKFM


The one on the right is a tabletop lantern that has a USB rechargeable battery.  It puts out both warm white and cool white light and has 4 levels of brightness, and it is small in size with being about the size of a can of Coke. I set this on a picnic table while camping and it had no problem lighting up the whole table.  It seems to last a long time on a battery charge and can be recharged by any USB power source.  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09KRQRRFL
