Night time lighting of public shelter/evacuation center.

“….why would you pay an arm (severed below the elbow) and a leg for the privilege of sitting in a dark room with masticating strangers?”

People won't get much sleep in the shelter at night. Others will disturb them by, talking, burping, farting, using electronic devices, shuffling about, snoring, making soup, opening noisy packet of snacks like crisps, heavy breathing, playing about , getting up to visit the bog and then returning later, and babies will cry.

“There were more night raids during January 1941. We had no shelter ourselves, nor was there a street shelter nearby, but a neighbour three doors away had asked us to share theirs during the daylight raids. This offer was repeated when the Blitz got going. Every night I had to hurry home from school, eat my tea, and try to finish my homework before the siren went. Bombers usually arrived about seven pm. My school was seven miles away from my house so I was rarely home before five pm. The evenings were a rush followed by hours of forced idleness sitting in a cold damp shelter lit only by a couple of tiny paraffin lamps. Often I had to learn poetry but could hardly see to read it.”

As you don't want the room in complete darkness, depending on size. Some well positioned maintained emergency lights could serve all purposes.

I suspect that BOD was being BAD. ?

The human species thrived for millennia before mobile phones.

Yes there will be provision for phone charging.

The building is equipped with a standby generator and this supplies a number of non standard 13 amp sockets.

I have made up a number of leads fitted with non standard 13 amp plugs, and 36 standard sockets for charging phones and other portable electronics.
