Helpful Tips:

*** A mirror or aluminum foil behind a candle makes the light brighter because the light reflects off the mirror or foil
*** White candles give off more light than colored candles
*** Dripless candles are less messy. If the label doesn't say dripless then they are not.
*** Cyalume sticks are good in your 72 hour pack/kit especially if you get lost in the woods and people are looking for you. you can wear this around your neck. The stick stays lit for about 12 hours. That way you don't use up your batteries in your flashlight if you need to have a light on for an extended length of time.


Store light bulbs for your convenience
