Be careful not to confuse any rookies who might be reading. The moment of the out is when the ball is hit, not when it's called. The B never becomes a BR and if the lights fail after the ball is hit, the Batter is out; even if the umpire doesn't call it until the lights come back on (as long as the umpire can see long enough to judge it).
