I set up my Philips Hue bulbs with the IFTTT app to turn on at 15 minutes before sunset, and shut off at 11:30P. The front room lights start at 100% and drop to 50% at sunset We have them on in the rooms we don't use because it's so economical. It gives the illusion of someone being home, even when we're not. When we installed the LED landscape lights, the electrician told us if we run them 4-6 hrs. a night, it's around $15 a year.
