We have the odd power cut every so often, but I have a UPS in the living room for the laptop, so I just plug the table lamp into that (yes, one of those energy saving type lamps).
On the last occasion it lasted well over three hours in total before I finally turned it off after the power came back.
I might try it one day just out of curiosity to see how long it would actually last.
It's only a small Belkin 350 watt? and admittedly the beeping gets a bit annoying though.
I recently also fitted a emergency light fitting that comes on automatically if there is a power-cut.
So next time all my neighbours will be wondering whats going on.
