actualaster:catacombsofpracticality:robot-bunny:some helpful stuff 4 ppl in texas rn !! [ID: two screenshots of Facebook postsThe first is by Jenni Truax. The post says “When we last lost power we used empty opaque milk/water jugs to dramatically improve the light output from a flashlight. Works exceptionally well.” There is also two photos, both of flashlights sitting on counters, lights pointed up and the jugs sitting on top, the opening of the jug over the light of the flashlight. The second is a post by Raechelle Garmon. It says “a neighbor shared this helpful way to heat water… make sure the cans are a little higher than candle to keep it lit. They made hot chocolate and warmed up soup. Praying for my Texas family!” Attatched is a photo of two pots on a stove, standing on cans over lit candles. There are gaps between the pots and the candles. END ID] If you need to walk into a room using a flashlight or your phone light point it at the ceiling! It will bounce off the ceiling and will help light up the room better than just pointing it directly in one area.Obviously you get more light if you direct the beam at a specific area, but I use that trick all the time when I get up in the middle of the night to get something to drink or go to the bathroom so I don’t have to turn on lights and can see the entire room better than just where I’m pointing it directly in front of me -- source link
