    I would prefer if there was an incentive to get solar panels installed with a generator/battery. If I could get one of them for not prohibitively expensive, I would have it installed. I have a fair amount of area to hold it too!

    Never mind your lightbulbs and candles, you will always be replacing them. What you need is a contraption that will save daylight during the day and then you let it back out slowing during the evening.
    Solar panels and batteries?

    Once upon a time incandescent bulbs lasted a lot longer than 10 years, but then some manufacturers decided to become greedy.

    same goes for mobile phones, laptops, mp3 players, televisions, cars, etc. etc...

    Quality of design/manufacture is getting worse and worse so we buy them more regularly.

    I have a bulb that is on nearly 7000 hours usage (avg 9 hours at night for the last 2 years, evey night).

    Am i correct in thinking its better to leave a bulb on, then be switching it on and off, as that uses more power?

    Well if you were turning it off just to turn it on again 2 mins later it'd be best leave it on. Reduces the life.
