Even GFIs consume power 24x7, only install
what you need.


You don't need a link, it's common sense and you can prove it yourself
with an amp probe. Both GFCIs (breakers or receptacles) and AFCI
breakers have sensing circuitry that consume power. It's a pretty
negligible amount of course so nobody should be very concerned about it.
The same applies to all varieties of photocell controlled lighting, be
it night lights or outdoor lighting.
