Hopefully, Shopping centres should have only enough light to "see" clearly,
nothing more.

The tax will of course achieve the exact opposite, as govt
interference often does. If lighting becomes expensive, shops will keep
all the ads on because they generate enough revenue to justify the
spend, whereas any lights in otherwise dark areas will be switched off.
It'll be 25w in the loos, and darkness in the alleyways and carparks.
