They have a GRAY box at the DYI stores that you set for time of use.
This is just is a heavy duty timmer
Tv,CD,printers all have a hot stand by and use lots of watts just waiting to be turned on.
Replace all your non reading ! lamps with CPF. Note the reading light if you use a CPF your eyes will go bonkers.
The new Califorina law that wants to replance all incand. bulbs with Cpf . The problem is frequency blinking of 60/50 cycles, and houses will need to be rewired so the lights in one lamp will need to be off cycle. Or use a converter to make them not blink.
One other problem with CPF is the recycling of the bulbs.
Note in most homes lights are left on for the booogie man, This retired worker of Monsters Inc.:thumbsup: is still around. Thats why most people leave the lights on.
