Usually it is a lighter first so I can see where I put the torch or candles LOL.

Depends on what I find first. But if I stay in one room and I don't need to go around the house I use a candle. If I have to go around then I use a flashlight.

Well I'm gonna have to say after the intial lighter turn on to look around it's candles. Not so much for any other reason than that I have an insane amount of candles. I once spent fifty dollars on candles alone. That made the idiot (husband) go crazy kinda funny though. After that I usually look for flashlights and batteries

I always use flashlights, unless I'm out of batteries, which is very rare. Flashlights are more dependable and they are safer.

I use both. We use candles in the main room where we all sit in the dark and use a flashlight to go around the house.

We use both. Flashlights are good for looking for things, but we like the candles because they put out a light all over the room. And flashlights are useful for reading a book to pass the time while the power is out.

We use flashlight. Only because they're so handy and easy to find in the dark, you don't have to use matches. Candles are dangerous around kids and animals, so we don't use them much anymore.

Hehe...who tell you candle is dangerous even still most of the people use candle when light is gone. I not like emergency light or other light because if battery is not charged means useless.

Lots of people in our place use candles and lamps as emergency lights and other lights are very costly and not able to afford it. I also use oil lamps and candles.
