I don't know how to make it any simpler.
Lighting is the least of your concerns. A/C, electric heat and electric hot water are the vast majority of your electric bill.

It's not possible. I usually just loosen all but one of the light bulbs in the ceiling fans. They're not gonna get changed unless I do it so maybe it saves a dollar or 2.
Thinking about putting motion detectors on the lights in the bedrooms and bathrooms...

Her parents should have done this when she was a kid. First thing most kids learn is to turn a light off when you leave the room...

Show her the electric meter outside. Explain how every time the dial completes a circle it costs money. The faster it spins, the more money it costs.
Tried that. Tried showing her the bill. Brought out a utility guy to show us how to economize. Showed her huge cancelled checks from the utility company. Tried drawing diagrams, formulas, equations, simple math ...
And here I am.

Try explaining to a woman that lowering the thermostat temperature does NOT make the AC blow any cooler

Correct, all you have to do is explain it like you would to a young child.

like 74... she like 79. Luckily, she goes to sleep before me, so I cut it down right before bed time, and it's back at 79 by the time I leave the house the next morning.

I'm in charge of paying all the bills. So I'm good about keeping electricity bill as low as possible.
About to be 3pm....3-6 pm is higher energy peak time with our electricity plan. No washing clothes, using vacuum, dishwasher, etc during 3-6 pm...except on weekends and holidays.

I deduct light bill from her allowance. When she can't buy a pretty dress, the lesson is learned

So you just had to butt in and spoil what was turning out to be a pretty good men's rant against wimmens. Thanks.

My deepest sympathies. I hope you aren't in a humid climate.

That's grounds for fricking divorce right there. 79?!?!

Why do all women turn on a freaking hallway light to walk down it and as they return, leave it on? Day or night, same shite.

Holy hell 74 is higher than I'd ever put it. 72 during the day 69 at night
