Have fun with those numbers.

Did you notice my 2013 monthly average was over $300 less than 2012.
Did you notice that 2013 was the lowest average in the last 5 years.
Prior to 2013 I was using incand., CFL, and fluorescent tubes.
I still have 8 4 ft tubes and 2 2 footers. The rest is LED.
I saved exactly $468 last year. Enough to buy 46 more LEDs @10 per.

Garbage in garbage out.
To many variables.
Heat and air conditioning used, hot water heater use.
More or less overnight company, Etc.
No saying you didn't use less for lighting, I just don't think you can
quantify it using overall electric usage.




How else would you do it?


I have a separate meter on my water heater and on another on a room
where I keep my business freezers.
I just think there are to many variables to rely on the monthly or
yearly changes to think those are just a change in light costs.
When I hurt my back, my electric use went up, hot baths and a heating
pad added to the use.

Too much of a coincidence, eh?
