Re: Power Outage, How many Lumens, How many batteries?

Hmmm... I remember my dad using kerosene lamps, as well as Coleman lanterns during power outages.Things are obviously different now than when I was a kid, but I think I would still go with the plan that we used back then, have kerosene lanterns stashed around the house in most rooms where people are likely to congregate. then you only have flashlights on each person for walking around, using the facilities in the middle of the night, etc. Obviously flashlights are cheaper to run today than they were back in the day but kerosene lantern is still more practical, unless you have a generator. Fill them with "lamp oil" if you don't like that kerosene smell, then refill with kero if the outage lasts so long that they run dry.
