For the last hurricane that did not materialize, my wife bought two
Coleman( I believe) battery (4 AA's) power laterns.  Therse are metal and
heavy and have a  (Ta-Da!)... dimmer.  They look like a miniature version
of the gas Coleman latern.  I hang one from the pop-top bar when the top
is up for the upstairs, use the other one where ever.  I should get a
solar AA battery charger since I do not really like the environmental
effects of using batteries.  Prob not as good as hard wired lights - but
can go anywhere, even outside.
