As I've done for many years now, I'm turning on EVERY light in the house @ 8:30 tonight. And doing a load of laundry.

Join me.

Oh thank God you posted this!

I will be proud to turn on all our lights! Thanks for the reminder!

I bet our snippy neighbors with the PITA Papillons will be all dark, too. They seemed to be last year.

Lights a-blazin’!

I have several, double 300-watt shop lights on stands. I’ll bring them out on the driveway and point them upward.

Why doesn’t it start at the top of the hour?

What time will I be turning on the Fender amp, playing my guitar through a digitech RP200 effects box running through my Peavey Mixer (with phantom power) to go with the Senheiser mic? The setup uses a lot of power! The article didn’t say. Oh, due to the power drain caused by all the equip, I also use a pre amp for additional phantom power. When I get cooking the neighborhood lights flicker..

I’ll fire up my pinball machines.
Each flip of the flipper is like turning on a vacuum cleaner in current consumption! LOL

As I've done for many years now, I turn off EVERY light in the house @9:00 pm. Because I go to bed.

BFD.

I have 7 TVs all hooked up to Uverse. Four refrigerators/freezers, and 5 or 6 computers. I don’t know, I lost count. I got hammered in the garage workshop watching some NCAA basketball and texting my college friends. I don’t care. Yeah, I can burn the coal tonight. The moderators won’t let me say what I think of these enviro-nazis.

I live in a 'dark area' on the map - I love it. I can see all the stars.

I shaved $30 a month off my electric bill - by my own methods - and I will NEVER have a government 'screw-you' mercury bomb in my lights. I save money to save money, not because the greenies, who have more light bulbs in their kitchens that I have in my whole house dictate to us.

Tonight, my house, and friends and neighbors will be lit like Christmas trees - and put a one night lit-up spot on the map in our area.

I just turned on all my lights and started up the clothes dryer. Then I went went outside and checked the electric meter - spinning like mad!

My water heater is electric too. I think I'll run 50 or 60 gallons of hot water down the drain. The high usage might cost me a buck or too but it's well worth it.
