Furthermore, the wear and tear of turning the light on and off repeatedly did not reduce the bulb's total life expectancy enough to offset the increased electricity usage. Therefore, it is far more economical to turn a light off rather than leaving it on.
Moral of the story is turn your lights off. I could do with following it myself, I'm terrible for leaving lights on.
And better still, not turn them on, unless necessary.Quote:
