Looking for ceiling bounce light for power outage...

The SC02 is a good option since it also runs on the high 1000 lumen mode fully regulated for 1h30m-1h50m (depending on the battery). Steps down for a couple of minutes when the battery is almost empty. Gets hot, but doesn't limit output. 3-3.5 hours on the 500 lumen mode.

Give the Fenix TK45 a look. Takes 8x easily available AA batteries, both alkaline and rechargeble.Can tailstand.

760 Lm max (2 hour runtime), 95 Lm for 22 hours (plus High mode, 312 Lm, and Low mode, 8 Lm).

I got two of these, and I would buy again. I have already tried these in the family cabin, where there is no electricity, and, well...there was a certain difference to notice between the TK45 LED flashlights I had brought compared to that old 4,5 Volt whatever-bulb flashlight that was already there.
And don't get me started on the resident kerosene lantern.

The downsides would be that there is no mode between 8 and 95 Lm. When using it as a reading light, 8 Lm is not enough, and 95 Lm is rather too much. Also, the light got a rather wide beam, so when tailstanding, it should be placed above your head or, if below, with the LEDs out of direct sight.

The TN12 will output 280 lumen for 5 hours on a single 18650.

I like TN12, but it is not the most stable platform for ceiling bounce. I guess 26650 light would play the role better.

But personally I've got this one with magnetic base:
