I excluded our flashlights/head lamps and focused on our LED lanterns.
Most emergency don't require bugging out and having a good safe light source is beneficial.
Sometimes gas and candle lighting isn't feasible for what ever reason and or situation, these are our emergency lights that we have had to use on several occasions. Here are some of our lanterns we have in our emergency supplies, I keep enough alkaline batteries to run these lights for 60 days, I also have D spacers giving us the option to use AA batteries in these lights, after 60 days we switch over to our Eneloop batteries that we charge with solar panels.
Here are the lantern operating specs;
