Like a fridge, freezer, or washing machine?

I was wondering if lighting would be a significant consumer of electricity of a regular house like say 10-20%?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Estimate number of lights and their power, number of hours per month - that will give you kWh consumption. Compare it to the total from the electricity bill for the last month and you will know.
