When Wendell brought this home from Costco awhile back and told me about it, I barely paid attention. I humored him and said, "Oh, cool!"
But let me tell you, when you suddenly don't have electricity and are engulfed in darkness, IT IS TOTALLY COOL! It is a lightbulb with a built-in rechargeable battery.
You screw the bulb into wherever you normally have a lightbulb. While it's in normal use, it is charging itself. 
And when you lose power, the bulb recognizes this and STAYS LIT automatically. The box says it'll stay lit for up to 10 hours. We were out for 30+ hours so it didn't last the whole time, but it was so handy in the beginning. The 6-pack was under $20.
Here's the bulb at work in our bathroom.
And this is our light in the bedroom. SO, SO COOL, WENDELL!

I gotta get those for next time! Hope Costco still has them.
I barely got by with a little 2 double A battery flashlight taped to a full waterbottle propped against a white wall. Just enough light to read a book

I need some of those. We have power outages a lot!
30 hours???? Good gosh! But that battery backup bulb sounds wonderful. I shall have to look for it.
So Sorry you lost power. Hope your house is ok and that Kai didn't learn to swim. Linda in Kansas

Welcome!
Picturing your water bottle lantern just cracks me up!
My friend Annie just went to Costco and she said that they didn't have them. Hopefully, they'll restock.
Awwwww.
I don't remember ever having an outage that lasted for so long.
We went to the dog park this morning, and he practically went swimming there!
