Best Answer

It is cheaper to turn lights off. You can check by having one person outside at the electric meter. See what happens when you turn off the florescent lights. See what happens when you turn them on. Does the meter speed up? If is speeds up does it speed up more than enough to make up for the time the lights were off? Write it up for a science project.
