We seem to be getting more power outages around here, so I bought a UPS and plugged my WiFi router and cordless phone into it so I would still be able to use phone and internet to see if the outage was reported, find out expected restart and after that still have something to do or watch on the laptop and iPad.

Just need a battery backed up sump pump to keep from overflowing the sump.

I heard about internal battery backed up LED tubes that retrofit into 4 ft fluorescent fixtures. Going to see if it’s true in a week or so and may buy a couple and put in strategic locations- they should run for 90 minutes- of course if I’m not home, they’ll just light up place for the spiders.
