You do that. BTW, do you really run your light bulbs 8 hours a day,
seven days a year? Look at all that power *YOU'RE* wasting!
I have a kitchen under counter fixture that has been on for the 32
years we've lived here. Actually, I'm on the third, maybe fourth
fixture. It is a Lights of America fluorescent that is cheaper to
replace than just buying a new bulb.
There are 8760 hours in a year and these things last a few years.
There may be an LED in the future for that location.
I have a 9 watt florescent tube fixture over the kitchen sink I leave
on, roommate can't leave it alone because his father who grew up during
THE Depression would beat him for leaving lights on. I don't bounce the
way I did when I was younger and I've been hurt because I tripped over
something in the dark. A broken hip costs more than the electricity to
run a 9 watt light 24/7 for 30 years. o_O
