If I have a bathroom light fixture that holds 4-6 bulbs and I only use 2 energy efficient ones, will that save me energy?


Same with a ceiling fan light, if it hold 4 bulbs and I use 1-2 will that save me significant wattage?

Energy expert here. What you do is buy 8 bulbs, crush up 4 of them and sprinkle the mercury around. It attracts extra energy out of the air and makes the bulbs you plug in work more efficienter.

The best energy savings you can get would be only typing every other letter on the keyboard instead of all of them. It'll knock at least $32 dollars per month off your bill.

Yes, because they are wired in parallel. Each one sees the same constant voltage.

Well, you heat the oven to 350 degrees and bake it 34 minutes. 35 and it's too crispy. 33 and it's way too limp.
