<p><span class="em">E11: main mode of lighting</span>
<br />Most Senegalese households connected to electricity are powered by the SENELEC network. Some are supplied using a generator or solar energy. In rural areas, households generally use the gas lamp, the hurricane lamp, the homemade oil lamp or the candle. An oil lamp (or one of artisanal manufacture) can be a jar of brand ''Nescafe'', a bottle, a box of jam, etc., where oil or petrol is used for lighting. The hurricane lamp is an oil lamp but of industrial manufacture.
<br />Circle the option corresponding to the mode of lighting most used by the members of the household. If there are several lighting sources, circle the most used source.</p>
