until LED's and a different electricity source 24V or 12V!!!!
or enabled for ALL lighting nothing much is going to change
In fact switching everything to this Flourescent JOKE is actually worse as they ALL have MERCURY in them...and compared to LED's they are pathetic in saving energy and not producing heat

right now there is the VAMPIRE FACTOR that is draining this country of produced electricity
EVERY charger for phones and the like that are plugged into the walls (whether or not something is hooked to THEM) is draining POWER from the wall...
ALL appliances that are NOT shut down via the power switch (not the remote) are draining power....
power STRIPS are draining power...remember the little neon light on the switch that is always on?...yes...more vampire factors
and when you think about each home having maybe 10 of these things 24HOURS a DAY...times Millions of homes...
DUH!
