Is this cost-efficient? Pretend I live somewhere with expensive power

[–] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 2 points 7 months ago

With expensive power you’d want to look into timed switches. LEDs are pretty efficient but not enough that you’d want to leave them on all day. That said, it’s the same power usage as a standard LED bulb so if those aren’t breaking the bank switching should not be a problem.
