Has been very windy here, internet and electricity was off for some hours.
Surely you were prepared though? You do have a backup generator don't you?
No generator, they burn a lot of fuel, make a noise, potentially annoy the neighbours, and attract the pilfering classes.
I do however have a UPS that provides limited 230 volts AC backup power. This supplies essential lighting, internet router, cellphone charger, cordless phone base unit, and a few other low power loads. Run time is at least 24 hours depending on load.
Also two home built 12 volt UPS units, mainly for the Christmas lights. Output only 30 watts each, but that is a lot of LED Christmas lights.
Backup lighting for any extended outage is Tilley lamps, to conserve UPS battery. And a load of candles and battery lights.
Heating is a solid fuel stove for the living room, and a Tilley infra red radiator for portable use.
Cooking is electric normally with an
LPG▸ boiling ring as backup, or very limited heating of food on the solid fuel stove. Or ye olde Primus stove.
