Hi Swanny,

If you want to get a "free" light source, like an 'emergency' light &c, you can put four 12-volt automobile lights (headlight bulbs) IN SERIES connected to the phone power.

You could probably find four headlight socket fixtures at any automotive scrap yard, and the bulbs are quite cheap. Then you could mount the sockets in a piece of 1/4" plywood, with little box-frame, sanded and painted. One idea.
