G'day Rick, sure it's not this facility?

I think the biggest culprit is actually the commercial sector, incl. retail. They are the least controlled in that respect, and they have the least incentive to cut their light spill now that cheap LED lighting has removed power savings from the equation. Factories, malls, hardware stores, service stations - they can all easily ruin the LP reduction efforts of just about anyone else, and care the least.
