i guess it depends on what i am doing. if i am walking around i rely on a flashlight casue its safer. but if im just sitting around waiting for lights to turn back on i use a candle. but if the lights are not out and im in a dark place looking for something i use a flashlight.

That's just what I was thinking! The one I use depends on what I'm doing at the time.

Hi Deeanna, thanks for this discussion, let me share my experience. Last year due to heavy rain and flood, we didn't had power for 3 days, the battery of emergency lights got discharged in few hours, stock of candles too, fortunately i had 2 lanterns and one petromax light that run on kerosene

If it's for an emergency I use a flashlight, but if I'm trying to seduce a lady it's candlelight all the way to the bedroom.

I guess you mean if there is a blackout? I'd use candles if I'm sitting in a room. If I'm going to be walking from one room to another, then I'd use a flashlight, just in case I were to drop the light source or get close to something potentially flammable.
