[QUOTE="pnuner, post: 2357464, member: 211"] If you are talking about extreme long term (years) liquid fuel would be the best way as it can be replenished. Think of how it was 200 years ago. Animal fat was rendered down to make oil, bees wax was used to make candles etc. Lighting is nothing new. BRIGHT lighting however has only been done the last 75 years or so. If you are talking shorter term say 5 years or less then a small solar system is hard to beat. You can use it to recharge batteries, for all sorts of lighting as well as other small electrical conveniences. A small solar setup is not terribly cost prohibitive, and if needed can be somewhat portable (although heavy due to batteries). BTW solar panels will last much longer than 5 years. It's the batteries that can get questionable after that long. For a room/shelter I really like the LED strip lighting. It's 12 volt and you can put it on a dimmer. Two 16' strips around a room will light it up REALLY bright. [/QUOTE]
