With incandescent bulbs, perhaps. Definitely not with the florescent lights that are now typical.

- deegles 10y agoI believe the issue is that fluorescent bulbs last longer if they are left on, so you would actually spend more money/energy (factoring in the cost to produce and humans to replace the bulbs) if you're switching them off regularly. They can be dimmed to increase the life even more.
