Emergencies

If my hubby would leave them alone or put them back where he found them I'd have them in all the right places too. So that said, I don't have a clue to how many we have now. I did have one in each of our cars, one in the kitchen, several were in his shed, and one in each bathroom but they're all gone now and God only knows where they are. LOL

We do have flashlights here GrandPa, but not that much like what you have!;) The flashlights we have are all battery-powered, one that operates with a "D" battery. We also have a lighter that comes along with a "built-in" penlight in it, that's what I love using when lights turns out at night!;)

I don't even know where one flashlight is in our house. I usually use candles if our power goes out. It doesn't really go out that often. I know my husband does have a few flashlights but I think he keeps them in his work van. I don't even know if we have one in the house.

We must have at least 6 torches (flashlights) in our house. My husband loves them & he has some of those fancy ones. I also keep candles in the cupboard for power failures. We keep a supply of batteries too. One of our torches is the kind that can be charged by winding a handle on it.

I think we have about three, one in the kitchen and two in my sons room. They were in our room but somehow they always end up in his room. All battery operated!

We live in a small apartment so we don't really need a lot of flashlights... we have one that operate on 2 C battery...my husband just brought one from China that doesn't need any battery at all... i don't know how it gets the power for the light but it is quite amazing... i asked him to bring more next time so that we can give them as gifts to our friends and relatives... aside for these two... we have plenty of candles around..

We only have one flashlight at home Grandpa Bob and i am not sure that its working since i cant remember ever using it. HOwever, we have a rechargeable lamp that we very rarely use since its very rare for us to have brownouts and all the areas in our house are well lighted.

I have a shaker-type flashlight in my glove box and 2 in the drawer right when you come into the kitchen. I also have a 9-volt square battery-operated flashlight along with a headlamp that my daughter found in the utility room. My daughter also has her small flashlight that I bought for when she goes to girl scout camp every summer in her bedroom. If/when the power goes out, I know the layout of my house so I can get to the flashlights pretty quick if I have to. I also have a candle hurricane lamp that is surprisingly bright along with a backpacker lantern and a full fuel bottle for it under the kitchen sink that is ready to light.

We have loads - if only we could find where Niamh has planked them all! lol I afraid she is rather obsessed with torches (flashlights) and whenever we try and put one somewhere where it would be handy in case of a powercut it miraculousy disappears and she hasn't touched it - really! So what do you think AGB is she eating the batteries or what? xxx

Oh my when I saw this topic, I couldn't resist taking a peek! My husband works diligently to keep the flashlights in working order that he has in all his hidey-holes around here. One in each car, one in each nightstand, one by the fridge and on and on. We no longer have a dry cell one due to a kid around here doing somethng to it. Could never find a convenient plus for more than one rechargeable. My hubby will be so pleased someone else is so well prepared.

Better prepared than not. It is a very clever idea of yours to have so many flishlights throughout the house in case it is needed for you to use. I also have some flashlights and I am happy that my nokia cell phone is equipped with a flashlight as well. I always use it when I am walking downstairs in the dark. Happy responding to Grandpa Bob's discussion.

i guess i only have at most two flashlights in the house. i do have a small key chain that has a strong light. i think there is a special name for it and it was very popular at one stage. but i can't remember the name. i also have this tiny light that is in this card tht is credit card sized. it's very handy and i put it by my bedside. no rechargeable ones and none that run on a dry cell battery!

I have 5 flashlights in our house two of which are rechargeable. The rest are powered by dry cell batteries. It is very useful here in our area since the power supply from the electric company is not so stable. And oh I have one small flash light that I carry in my bag all the time. It has no batteries, and its also mad in china. You don't have to shake it to have power but it has a small lever that you can hold and rotate to energize the power once the light gets dim. It also has connections with different adapters for cellular phone. Its really nice since you can also charge the cellphone once connected and you can have at least 5 mins of talk time with a minute of continues rotating.
