We're cutting down on power usage and one of the top things on the list is to disconnect all fixtures that serve only a decorative purpose. For example, we have a three story atrium in which there are lights that only shine UP. The roof is a skylight, so there is little or no downward reflection. Those lights are at the top of the hit list. Others, well, when they go out the tubes or bulbs won't be replaced.

Stupid to an average of USD 1,200+ when I can spend less and save energy AND have the power company give me a rebate for each unit I "delamp." Unfortunately, they want the power saved so they can send it to the Boise area where demand is growing and nothing much is being done about it.
