Yes we should stop chastising people like that. You have long hair, you use more water, shampoo and drying. You drink coffee how many wh for that cup and its content. We could always find something in others where they consume more. My neighbors keep all their lights on almost all the time in every room. The other one has AC on all day to full power even when it is cooler outside... So complaining that someone uses a 50w/70w device for their hobby... meh . However I still believe we and the manufacturers should work to reduce idle power and consumption in general.
- teekert 5y agoOh I never felt chastised… before… I mean I agree with not wasting energy of course, but what we’re talking about here is really nothing compared to driving a car or making a couple of pots of tea a day, for example. I refuse to feel chastised!
- Aeolun 5y ago> My neighbors keep all their lights on almost all the time in every room Almost all the lights in my house are leds, even if I did this the cost would be negligible.
- teekert 5y agoYeah I think this is a thing of the old days, my father in law is also always on top of light usage. Once I calculated what a 3W led cost him if he let it run the whole year (about 6€) to forget it once in a while is really no reason to get cranky. Leaving a couple of 60W incandescent bulbs on for longer periods can increase a bill indeed, but with leds it’s really not worth being know as the guy that whines about the lights for, IMO.
- Aeolun 5y agoI don’t really think it’s about cost for these people. There’s something about a needlessly glowing lightbulb that is just offensive to them.
- teekert 5y agoWell, I agree that lights should just be turned off when not needed, it also kills their lifespan. But you don't have to be a nasty person about it :)
