Living off the grid poses a number of problems to be considered when it comes to lighting. Electric lighting can quickly drain a battery and, in my opinion, is harsh to the eyes. LED lights help to eliminate the battery drain, but I still don't find the light they throw that pleasing. Additionally, where I will live has weather that may prevent my solar panels from recharging the batteries as quickly as I would like all the time. While I could run the generator, I have decided to go back to tried and true oil lamps. Not just any oil lamps, mind you, but Aladdin brand oil lamps. Let me explain more.
