So a 40w appliance uses less power than a 12w to 16w light?

I pay very high power rates and the light cost 6-8$ a year. If a RHP is only on 6 hours a day it would cost just short of 14$ a year more than twice as much now if we were talking a 40w light it would be different. Even if it is dimmed and fully regulated that is 25% power on the RHP most of the time.

Lets not make things up shall we?
