One option that is not reliant on solar comes from a project in Nepal by an organisation called Light Up The World
The white light emitting diode project uses simple hand powered generators to power the low energy lighting systems in remote parts of the country. The projects is described on page 14 of Boiling Point Number 45.

The primary objective of
the project is to introduce to the poor rural people of Nepal, a simple, healthy, affordable and
reliable form of home lighting, using White Light Emitting Diodes (WLED). A WELD consumes less than
one tenth of a Watt and has a continuous life in excess of ten
years.
Lifeline Energy produce the Emergency Polaris Radio with flashlight. It is human powered and can also be charged from the mains. href="https://lifelineenergy.org/our-technology/">https://lifelineenergy.org/our-technology/
Another non solar dependent lighting option is the gravity lighthttps://gravitylight.org/gravitylight/.
I don't have any direct experience of either of the above but they do attempt to provide light without solar or mains power.
