No. Turning on a light uses no more current than keeping it on. This may differ with specialty lights like sodium vapor or metal halides which require a large current to "start" but these lights are rarely used in the home. Turning on an inductive device like an electric motor requires much more of a "kick" to start it, conversely. A standard light bulb though? No, leaving the lights on uses far more power than switching them on.
No! Anderson Cooper is Not Leaving Cnn He Has More Interviews and More Ridiculist
If you leave lights on when you are not using them and leave the TV on when you are not watching it, you are using too much electricity. You can actually cut your electric use and bill by shutting off lights when you are not using them, turning off appliances, including computers.
yes you do . it is the matter of simplyfing and turning them into more easier fractions .
Perhaps Apostate is the word you are looking for although its use has more conotations of leaving a religion than of leaving a cuase.
I hope Wendy is not leaving . She is a very good actress. I would like to see her more in her role. I would hate to see her go.
AnswerThere is negligible savings by leaving the light on. It does take slightly more energy to turn on a fluorescent light that to just keep it burning, but their are no savings if the time is more than a second or two.we have tested that when you keep the lights on it uses more electricity than if you turn the lights on and off
i believe so because turning the light bulb on requires a stronger "burst" of energy to get it going, whereas maintaining it you're not pulling more energy in shorter bursts.
Leaving any electrical device on consumes power. You get charged for what you use. With no power consumed, no charge.
Turning off the lights does not actually save energy; energy not burned by the lights is simply run into the ground. It will save you $$, but not save energy. However, turning off the lights does send a market signal to electricity producers, informing them that current electricity production is too high (because it is being wasted) and decreasing future loads.Conserve energy? It completely stops the use of it. How much more can you conserve?update: Hopefully the person above is taking their own advice and not voting or reproducing :-) "It completely stops the use of [energy]?" No, it stops your use of it, but the energy company still burns it if you don't use it. Only when we stop using it on a large scale does the energy company not produce as much, and we then save. Turning off that light right now? Earth hour? Not saving the planet or any energy. Only if we do it ALL THE TIME.
Of course not. When the light is on, it uses energy; when it is off, it doesn't, 'tis as simple as that. I have heard certain rumors that turning it on will use (for example) the equivalent of two hours of just being normally on. Since turning the light on takes but a few seconds, a simple calculation shows that this would produce enough current to trip any standard fuse or circuit-breaker. What's more, I personally turned a one of those lights (40 Watts) on and off 40 times in a row, and checked the energy usage. According to the above mentioned rumor, this would have to use about 2 kWh; the meter didn't advance a single kWh. Unfortunately, I don't have the equipment to do finer measurements, but it just doesn't make sense.
NO,they use the same amount of energy as any other light; But they do not use any POTENTIAL ENERGY.
Incandescent and halogen light bulbs use more energy than compact fluorescent lights and LED lights. Fluorescent lamps with magnetic ballasts use more energy than fluorescent lamps with electronic ballasts.

It depends. The longer you leave the lights on and the more you flush the toilet, the more energy consumption you will have.
There are many ways to save energy.Some are:Turn the lights off when you leave a roomPut full loads of clothes in the laundryUse energy efficient appliancesDon't use electrical appliances that muchWear a sweater instead of turning the heat onRemember; These are only some ways to save energy. There are many more. BE GREEN!
The carrier won't charge you extra. However, leaving your phone on will use more electricity than turning it off. You will then need to charge it more often, causing you to be charged more by your power company.
