BRING IN   WHEN IT STARTS GETTING DARK... BACK OUT IN THE MORNING TO  CHARGE...ALL THANKS TO
 MOTHER NATURE...RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES  NOT NEEDED...

Here's an idea so you're not in the  dark.
 
Solar lights can be bought for very few dollars.
 
Last week, a thunderstorm rolled through our neighborhood and a huge oak tree came down on some power lines, creating a power outage for a large area  around us. We lost power for about 5 hours.
 
We were scrambling around in the darkness looking for matches,  candles, flashlights, etc.
 
We  looked Outside and noticed our solar lights shining brightly all around our patio, stairs, dock, etc.  They were beautiful.  Pat walked outside and brought several of the solar lights inside.
 
We stuck the solar light pipes into  plastic  drink  bottles containers and they  made the nicest, brightest,  safest,  lighting  you could ever  imagine.
 
We put one in the bathroom, the   kitchen,  the  living room,   etc.   There was plenty of  light.
 
There are all types of solar lights  available.  We bought ours at Harbor  Freight.   We  put them all around  our yard.  They look nice and they do not attract flying bugs like the outdoor lights around our doorway.
 

The lights we have fit into the small (20oz) water bottles and they also fit into most of the larger liter bottles. If you need a weight in the plastic bottle to keep them from tipping over, you can put a few of the pretty colorful  "flat  marbles"  that they put in aquariums and vases.  You can also use sand, aquarium gravel, etc., whatever you have available.

The lights we have were perfect inside our home.  They burn all night long if you  need them to.
 
The next day, you just take your solar lights back outside and they will instantly recharge and be ready for you to use again any time you need them.
 
Perfect for power outages, hurricanes, etc.
