There is nothing that works better without power. We read all winter, my wife spins and sews, I just lay around in the light of Aladdin lights/ We don't get thr real fancy ones but just buy the
Genie III About $110.00. We do have some that are over 50 years old and they work just the same as a new one so if you look at the investment over the long run it is a hell of a lot better than a China made piece of junk that will break in six months.
