You are funny, B2U.

I am guilty as charged. I am the one in our house that insists every light is off, except a few 40 watts usually hidden behind large electronics.

It isn't about saving money though, as I keep my once a week utilized hot tub going year round. I also do about 5 loads of laundry a day (I like clean!) . . . but I just do it all in the dark.

I hate bright lights at night time. As soon as the sun comes up, I have every curtain open in the house, and I like direct sunlight . . . but when it comes to lighting, I hate it. In fact, I generally don't even shop in stores that have bright lights, like Walmart, and wear sunglasses most of time, even on my balconey.

I have been like this since about the time I probably "came down" with MS, in my mid-teens. I think I am part bat.

PS: I have used the "cost" as the excuse, but it's not the real reason.
