i think the more important issue is the spike occurring on an accurate schedule 12/12 and then shifting later on, remaining on a precise turn on time every day during each phase.

every day @ 6 am for instance it kicks in (600w start), turning off precisly @ 6 pm, Although this can be camouflaged by using a better timing to allow for more distortion on turn on/ turn off times reading, still remains one of the effective ways they suspect people.

I think one of the best ways if u r using lower wattage lights is to have something of equal wattage turn on right when the lights go off (a pc for instance or a tv) and have it turned off when lights go on, this way, it looks as if a (600w) power consumer is running 24/7 which totally looks like a computer running, many many people do not turn their pcs off at all, which i think is the right way to use the pc, prolonging its life.
