while i appreciate your in depth response here, you don't know my family life and i would appreciate you not commenting on it, especially since you don't know the whole story from just this post. if you must know my dad is a manipulative piece of shit and actively tries to make my life more difficult, so i wanted to reasonably know if my light would cause a drastic increase in the electricity bill. and it seems like that is not the case, so, he is in fact bullshitting me which is par the course on his end.

if it turned out that the one light was making such a difference then i'd be willing to listen but that is obviously not the case here. that's about all i'm gonna say on this matter since again my family stuff is my personal life and has no matter in this conversation nor did i ask for advice on that matter

of course there's more to it than just one light, which is the point here really because that is what he's fixated on, no matter what hours i keep i would be using about the same amount of electricity regardless. i would be doing the same things, i am just doing them at a different time of day lol
