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.
So, if this was. 24 hours on question, would you shut the light off? 7x24x365 =61,320 watts or 61.320 kilowatts

61.32 x $.0898732 = $5.51.

So, Retiredguy, as a recipient of the Retiredguy "You're Cheap!" Award (a distinction that I am very proud of) is over FIVE dollars enough to shut off the light?
