Another former workplace... There was a power cut one evening. A few of the guys were working late and discovered that there wasn't any lighting in the stairwell nor torches. Showing their initiative, they grabbed whatever laptops where around and used the screen backlighting to guide their way. It may not be much light, but way better than pitch black.
But at least the company responded quickly - the emergency lighting was installed and working by the end of the week.
