    Probably yes, although a lot of cheapskates will unscrew some of them when not in use to save energy.

      I don’t think bulbs use a whole lot of energy these days. A 10W LED bulb would cost $14 per year to run constantly (US pricing). An old 60W bulb would be $83 per year in comparison.

      But there’s probably no reasoning with someone who decorated that room.

      Math:

      LED bulb power = 10W

      Electricity cost in US = $0.161 per kWh

      Running 1 bulb 24 hrs a day = 0.24kWh

      Price per day = $0.038

      Price per year = $14, running 1 bulb constantly

        Huh, that’s actually more expensive than I’d have thought for a single bulb, even taking into account that you’d probably only be running it for a quarter of the time
