We will not recommend candles because they burn quickly and are not renewable. It is also inconvenient to act with them. A device that can replenish or recharge its resources would be a much better investment.

garlands on batteries

First of all, we can talk about the wreaths that we usually buy to decorate the Christmas tree. Today you can find many different options that run on AA, AAA or other batteries. They are mobile, consume little energy, so they will serve for a long time if used for several hours a day. They can be placed in a transparent jar for easy transport.

Battery-operated candles can also be useful, but as they are mostly designed for decoration, they do not provide enough light and can flicker to mimic a real fire, which not everyone will like.

LED strip + power bank

In online stores, you can also find LED strips that work from a power bank. They are available in different colors and lengths with the possibility of additional control via remote control or mobile app. Such a tape can be easily fixed under the ceiling, on the bed, on the shelves, on the wall or other surfaces. Thanks to the power bank, you will always have a renewable light source; All you have to do is remember to charge the battery.

LED table lamps on batteries

Online stores and offline retailers also offer lots of battery powered lights. The light source in them is not electrical filaments, plasma or gas, but semiconductor LEDs, organic LEDs or polymer LEDs. They are quite economical and safe, so they will be an ideal option.

You can charge such a lamp during the hours of electricity, and then use it in case of power outages. The battery lasts a long time. Of course, this figure depends on the specific model, but on some expensive options you can count on ten hours or more of runtime.

LED/LED bulbs with built-in battery

Such devices have the appearance of an ordinary screwed light bulb, without a large body, legs and stand. A lithium-ion battery is already included in the set of such lamps. The advantage of such lamps is the absence of heating. You can count on about 5 hours of work with them.

It works like this: you screw the LED lamp into an ordinary chandelier, it charges in the presence of light and continues to work from the battery during power outages.

oil/kerosene lamps

Finally, we can talk about inventions of the past. Today, oil lamps are rare and often sold as interesting interior decorations, but at least they can be a much better option than candles.

Such lamps consist of a container for oil, a cotton wick, a metal burner with a flame adjustment handle and a protective glass tube. Such a lamp will also require special fuel. The cost of the lamp ranges from 400 to 1,000 hryvnia, and oil from 100 to 200 hryvnia.
