Do You Ever Leave Lights On In Your House When You're Away From Home?

[kinetic563]

We do all the time. My mom says it's a way of decreasing the chances of robbers trying to rob our house or something like that.

Not sure how it helps, but I guess because they'd think the people are still in the house? No clue. But we usually do this only at night, as doing it in the day time would be rather, well, ugh...pointless.

No. We don't waste electricity. The area I'm in is pretty much on neighborhood watch, so we're good. Also, we have an alarm system that we use whenever we're gone for a while. However, we leave one lamp (cover-less) on all week in the living room while we go to Lake Tahoe. That's the only light on while away, any other light in the house is off. The living room is directly above the garage and can be seen from outside because there's a door that leads to that room from a very small patio right above the garage door.

No, we don't do that. If we're in a room, and someone leaves the room, we always shut off the light. Though I can see where your mom is coming from, since you live in a house and anything can happen.

We leave the kitchen light, or my bedroom light on if we go out, as those are the rooms that face the Cul de sac that I live in.

My dad is all about saving money on stuff like the electricity bills so usually not, though sometimes we'll leave the kitchen light on idk why.

 

[Snowy620]

Yes.

Every single light in the house is on 24/4

If my dad pisses me off one night, i'll just leave the shit on so he can pay more.

I'm so evil.

 

[CaptainShyguy]

No, never. It's pretty safe where I live. Anyway, my dad hates to waste electricity.

 

[AegisReflector]

None of you live in the ghetto? Lightweights.

Since I've never been out of state or leave the house much, I can't say. If we go to the store or some place, they'll be on just because we don't want our cat to have an early grave. =P

 

[Shaby]

Only the outside lights and the christmas lights!
We don't like to waste electricity.

 

[Ether]

The only light we ever leave on in my house is the kitchen light (albeit very dim).

 

[Darkboo007]

Nope, we cut all lights off. If I leave a light on in my house, my momma gets the yelling

 

[Troll]

No because my parents are crazy when it comes to saving electricity.
