As of a few months ago, the most recent studies that I could easily
find determined that about 9% of American electricity consumption and
about 11% of American electric bills were for lighting.

As for residential indoor consumption in pre-ban Europe, the figures
were more like one-third of yours. Please check if your sources
differentiate between residential and other.

IIRC, my figures are residential ones.

It varies by area and climate in the U.S. Energy Star says residential
lighting is 12% of the annual energy bill for a typical single home. See:

value of that 12% is $264 per year.
