What’s with people who are obnoxious about NOT turning off the fluorescence lights, because if you do, you will waste more energy than if you had kept them on.  I heard this for PCs, and that makes sense, but this does NOT apply to stinking lamps.  Please…stop…yes, those downtown office buildings are wasting energy…not saving energy by keeping them on all night.  Stop making yourselves feel better.  The world is a cruel place.   And yes, thousands of cute baby seals are killed every day.  (By the way, magic number for fluorescence light is 15 minutes.   If you are going to turn it back on in 15 minutes, you should not turn them off.)

I think I saw on mythbusters that it's much less than 15 minutes. Its like two minutes.
