I'm always curious on n off light will waste energy or not..
cos i've always heard ppl saying "u waste more energy when on light awhile n off it.. n on it again later n off it.."

so i went online to find an answer..

"You should turn off the lights whenever you’re not in a room. Bulb lifespans are shortened by flicking them on and off, but not enough to make it worth your while to leave the light on. You’ll save more money by saving energy - i.e. turning off the light will lower your electric bill considerably."
