That's interesting. Necessity really is the mother of invention.

Turning an ultra-bright narrow beam into an area-illuminating glow.

Jug of water, milk, nothing? What is tied with the bow tie? If you're posting something how about telling what it is made up of?

It's just an empty plastic milk/water jug... serves to diffuse the light.

We keep extra batteries and flashlights and battery powered lanterns around as well as candles, and a couple solar battery chargers to recharge the batteries we have on hand.

They had that on one of the TV programs today.

You can also point your flash at the ceiling. That will illuminate the full room
with the flash at a low setting. Enough to read by? No, but enough to keep
you from tripping on things.

Silly, candles can't see!

The jug is filled with water, and there's no bow tie (it's a headlamp with an elastic band around the jug.) :roll:

I'll take the opportunity to mention no decent first-aid kit should be without a good headlamp. Or two.

What's with the roll eyes? I never said anything about a bow tie, and the diffusion works with or without water in the jug.

I would never need to use such a contraption because I have plenty of battery powered lights and lanterns for every room in our place... and solar battery chargers for the li-ion and NiMH cells we keep here.

That's great but, the only place I would have a gallon jug is in the refrigerator. The thing is that I have a Coleman gas lantern close buy and would rather use that.

Any place a gallon jug with a headlamp could go, my Coleman lantern could go and it puts out a heck of a lot more light.

Actually at the present time I don't have a gallon jug or a head lamp. I did purchase one of those Atomic Beam lanterns though and that thing really puts out a lot of light for it's size. I had to work under my kitchen sink recently and that thing lit up the space in there very brightly.

But thanks for the tip anyway.

No you didn't, but Fox Mike did...……

Then roll your eyes at him. :roll:

Pete,

Like I said, it's still a good tip on diffusing a beam of light into something more desirable at a time when you need it. What's more it gives people the idea that maybe there are more things they can do like that with different objects.

Thank You

I use Rigid 18 volt power tools and have both a flashlight and a combination area light. The batteries are always charged and even the smaller output batteries will run the area light 10-12 hours.

I have FOUR kerosene lamps; They'll "RUN" for a long time on one fill up (about q half pint).

I am with CG, oil lamps are old school but really work well.
