The popular push seems to be turning things off. On the other hand, for security reasons, it is recommended that some lights be left on. So what now? Should these lights be left on when no one is home, or should they all be turned off?

I'd say off. Maybe what it meant by just leaving them alone is to avoid turning the lights on and off too often since starting lights would require extra voltage.

well i guess in my opinion i would rather turn off the lights ..less electrical consumptions and more safer..anyway our house is near the mercury lights (road lights) which is more advantageous for us..

You can have some zero-watts bulb to conserve electricity...

[zebro]

My practice is when nobody in home i will switch off all the lights and put on one Zero-watts bulb in the hall.

There is always shortage of energy.So that we have 2-3 hours power cut daily. Keeping in mind why do we waste energy. Better to switch off lights when no one is in home.

Use lower voltage bulbs in floor and desk lamps for close up work. Install fluorescent lamps in rooms with lights on more than two hours a day. Compact fluorescent lamps produce a warm light and may fit it reduce the energy cost.

Yeah we can go for low voltage bulbs to save energy.This won't be work good if one or two only implements. Everyone have to implement this idea then only we can save more and let it for near future.

i turn off my lights right after eating my dinner, i only use my tv as a light in my room, and if im not watching tv, i use my lamp so i can save energy..

Yeah. It is safer since there are times that bulb suddenly burst out and create a fire. You'll just never know at all.

Zero-watts bulb? Is there really a bulb like that? How strong would its light be?

Yeah but not all the time. Sometimes its alright not to switch off the lights when no one's home so that burglars wouldn't think that. Once they detected there's no one home then they'll probably sneak in.

These lights should be turned off when no one is on home.
