Rechargeable light bulbs? Really, these things work. Vija bought some awhile ago, and we had our first opportunity to use them during our recent 24 hour power outage. She bought a box of them off QVC, in various sizes and wattages. All you have to do is have them in a lamp before the power outage and they will be charged when the power goes out. Then just turn on the lamp and you will have a lighted room even though you have no electrical supply.
Ours remained lighted for about seven hours with a very bright light. Most advertised today come with their own socket, so you can hang them anywhere, or use them as a flashlight, or use them in one of your existing lamps or ceiling fans.
They're not cheap, costing about $25 to $30 for four. And, from what I read, they are expected to deliver 3 - 5 hours of light when charged.
They work well, and help keep everyone from stumbling around the house when the power is out. Of course, Amazon has lots to choose from.
