If a person is worried about wasting energy, they need NOT be concerned about how long they leave a LED light turned on.
They can save significant money and cut down on pollution by buying a battery-powered lawnmower. And trading that old gas-guzzling golf car for an electric model. And riding around the local Village area on a bicycle or E-bike. Then go all the way with a hybrid or electric car or truck. That would save several thousand times the energy as compared with if you do or do not switch off your LED bulbs. It is just a big picture or a small picture situation.
