Newb question about lights...
and your computer, right? LOL yeah, unplug everything...
It is amazing how much electricity you use up even when everything you have plugged into walls is turned 'OFF'.
Unplug everything from walls when not in use, and you will save a somewhat significant amount of $'s when it comes to the conn ed billlatewood Reviewed by latewood on .

Newb question about lights...
400w is like running a PC and a monitor (on the same schedule) I run just over 500w for my stuff, only costs and extra 22-25 bucks/month

Newb question about lights...
I completely understand, I have a roomie that has had his PC on since january 24/7, because he doesn't want to reset the desktop resolution when it boots (because he didn't properly install his $400 vid card drivers), I myself dont use my desktop much either, just my 65w laptop, the desktop is for backups only.

Yeah, I'm about ready to kick his damn computer (since he's too lazy to put the sides back on it also...) his PC is like 22% of the total bill(not including my grow which he has NO idea about), not to mention the 27" tv and space heater in his room
I had to put CFL's in every socket just to offset the cost of his PC, but he makes 3x the bucks I do, so what does he care.
<gotta go turn down the furnace again....>
