comparing lighting to the consumption of a fridge, which is one of the most energy intensive appliances in an average house, is kinda ridiculous. Its like saying your lawn mower energy use is just fine because it consumes the same as your SUV.
Tl;dr: 2kwh per day for a light is a LOT. A standard led light would consume about 5% of that.
- TheCoelacanth 7y agoThree incandescent light bulbs that would have been standard 10 years ago would consume as much energy while putting out far less light. It's not a crazy amount of energy, standard LED lights just use so little energy that it's hardly worth measuring.
- wyattpeak 7y agoHe states in monetary terms what it costs (30c a day), he's not obfuscating it. That it costs a lot more than a regular light is neither here nor there (and I think anyone reading would have already guessed that).
