While funny, LED bulbs are cheap and efficient. I’m starting to think I’m the outlier who barely lights the house and has the blackout shades pulled during the day if I’m at home.

Someone tell me I’m not the only one

I don’t have blackout shades, but I only turn on the lights if I need them, like when I’m cooking. Otherwise, I maneuver in the dark.

Well, it was meant as a joke. 😜

We, too, have all LED bulbs in our house, and my wife and I do make an effort to turn off lights in the house in rooms that are currently uninhabited. But as anyone with kids can attest there's always wasted electricity due to rooms with lights on and no one in the room.

I can attest. Walking around the house multiple times a day to turn off all the lights the kids left on is how I get my exercise.

Omg, that is the truth. Everyday I remind my kids. In one ear out the other.

Motion sensor switches! Legrand sells them in the box stores. The adorne collection is aesthetic and has numerous options.

Cellphone light only, unless I'm actively doing something with my hands.
