@gunrunnerjohn posted:Yes, they "should" only be needed in the room that you're in, however reality is some people (who shall remain nameless in my house) don't understand the two positions of a light switch! It's not unusual for me to see lights in many rooms that don't need to be on. With LED's, I don't have to be nearly as much of a PITA running around turning them all off.
For me the only other person here is my wife and she is thankfully pretty light switch conscious, but it’s a fair point... maybe LEDs are the path of least resistance. No pun intended.
In addition, the fridge doesn't use as much as you think, this is one of many recent quotes on what a modern fridge costs to run.
ENERGY STAR Refrigerator (side by side) 21 cu. ft. 51 kWh per month $ 6.63 per month
In my case, probably more like $8/mo, that assumes 13 cents/KW. So, it's not much more than a couple of incandescent bulbs.
Hmm. Maybe it’s time for a new fridge.
