Quick answer
A rechargeable emergency bulb screws into a normal holder, charges from the mains while power is on and keeps lighting when it goes off. Check the wattage for brightness, the stated runtime, and whether it switches automatically. It is the cheapest first step against blackouts, before UPS or inverter backup.
