I got these via AliExpress for less than $2 each. Just search "led light". Maybe even far less than that. They come as a circuit board and you snap each light off the circuit board. They plug into any USB port. This batch even came with a USB c to USB adapter iirc. If not, they are super cheap in AliExpress too. That way you can plug them into a phone too. They are super tiny, super lightweight, and very bright. Second pic is of it plugged into my laptop.

These would be handy to duct tape to any power bank that doesn't have a built in flashlight feature. I don't know how efficient these little usb lights are but I bet even a small capacity power bank could run them for hours, if not days.

I've got some similar lights that I keep in my vehicles and bags.  I went over them, along with some other USB lights, in this thread

I have a few like these. They are cheap and bright. They work on anything that has a usb port. A tv, a laptop, a car, etc.

I am sure we all have long usb cords lying around. They work great with those to provide some flexibility.

I keep a power bank in my brief case for my phone and I have one of these lights that turns the power bank into a long running light. 

Just for giggles I plugged one into a 20000 mah power bank and let it run. In 24 hours the light was still on and the bank had 2 of the 4 power lights illuminated.

Folks you are on your own...Plan and act accordingly!

I will never claim to have all the answers. Depending upon the subject; I am also aware that I may not have all the questions much less the answers. As a result I am always willing to listen to others and work with them to arrive at the right answers to the applicable questions.
