So the real question is will Retiredguy now shut off his light? We are talking real money now, nearly TEN dollars annually.

Retiredguy: don't risk your hard fought reputation as a cheapskate, shut off that light!
Yes, that would be real money, but I don't agree with the calculation in Post No. 7. See Post No. 12. And, the actual savings would be less than $2.75 because I would still need to use the light bulb when I am in the house and not sleeping. But, I will take your suggestion under consideration.

Note that this thread was posted in "just for fun". But, I do find it amazing that some people are still using incandescent light bulbs.
