It's called the sun, use it.

Quick post here, do any of you people turn on two lights in the middle of an already overlight room? If so, why the fuck do you do it!? Don't get me wrong here, out of all the things I could hate you for this is at the bottom of that list. It's just that when a room is already well lighted, why do you need to turn on a huge room light to make it just the tiniest bit lighter?

What is the logic behind that? I've heard of people turning the lights down to get in the mood. Yet when a room is already adequately lit, and turning on any "extra" light doesn't do anything, why do it? It's like, "Gee this entire room is already covered in the warm glow of these fluorescent light bulbs, and even though it's already overly light in here; I'm going to go get my desk lamp and turn it on so it can do nothing."

I can understand turning on an extra light if you just so happened to be stuck in that one part of the room that gets bad lighting, or for those dark nooks and cranies. We're not talking about saving energy here, this is just about one of those nervous ticks of people that just don't make defy the mind to explain them. You know, because if having that light on is just so important for you, than turn the other light off and keep that one on!
