Lighting is a *huge* cost for retail businesses -- look around next time
you're in Wal-Mart, Home Depot, or any supermarket.

There's a Costco in my g.f.'s city that uses zero lighting during the
day. The roof is riddled with skylights. Since Costco closes fairly
early, I'd guess their entire lighting bill is very small.

Do they close on cloudy days? Or at 4:30pm in the winter?

Their lighting bill is a lot larger than you think.



A bold claim, given that you don't know how large I think their lighting
bill is. But if they run lighting an average of 2 hrs/day instead of 12
hrs./day, their lighting bill is probably 1/6 of what it otherwise would
have been.

You know, Doug, for a jesus freak, you're kind of a dick. Always
argumentative, always right, always sanctimonious, always the last word.
Sure those traits describe 99% of a.h.r. participants *some* of the
time, but you're always like that. And you aren't as damn smart as you
think you are, based on your idiotic misinterpretations of something as
simple as ohm's law.
