Turning Lights On And Off Quickly. Flipping a light on and off every 30 seconds is nowhere near fast enough for the inrush current to sum up to more power consumption than leaving. You can burn out the ballast (the heart of the fixture) by repeatedly switching them on and off. Just assume the light takes zero power when off (power_off=0), and 100w or whatever when on. For a compact fluorescent bulb, a rule of thumb. Turning a light bulb on sends a jolt of electricity through the filaments, which is more likely to break it than a continued current—that's why light bulbs often burn out as you turn them on. To add to this, dimming an led bulb actually works by turning it on and off again very quickly (usually, some dimmers work in other ways). It is best to turn off incandescent and halogen bulbs whenever they are not needed, due to their high consumption of electricity. The filaments in incandescent lights are rapidly heated to white hot during the first several ac cycles of power applied to them. Leaving a light on uses more power. Switching a light off saves power.
