Some of those 1w led bulbs can also stay on also, when everything else goes off during a temporary blackout. If the sun ever erupts out a direct super massive X9(+) flare, some battery powered walky takies may be a good temporary alternative to mobiles and landlines. The human biofield contains electricity, place a silver foil disc (old milk bottle top size) on top of needle (standing on bluetac), cup your hand around the foil disc it and watch it spin around.

In the second attempt, Kemmler was shocked with 2,000 volts. Blood vessels under the skin ruptured and bled and some witnesses erroneously claimed his body caught fire. The New York Times reported instead that "an awful odor began to permeate the death chamber, and then, as though to cap the climax of this fearful sight, it was seen that the hair under and around the electrode on the head and the flesh under and around the electrode at the base of the spine was singeing. The stench was unbearable." Witnesses reported the smell of burning flesh and several nauseated spectators unsuccessfully tried to leave the room. In all, the entire execution took approximately eight minutes.
