Trainwire, the residential market here varies from 100a services with barely anything on them, to 320A services that are maxed out easy. On a few occassions 600A that hit 90% during what I feel is the highest energy consumption times - Chistmas Parties, and hot summer days... That is all single family homes....
While I'll agree that better lighting should be used more, but it is really hard to force that type of lighting down the throats of people who think 'green' until they look green under the lights. Or for that matter don't feel like spending the green stuff on LED's that haven't been able to get that warm incandesant feel to them yet. The sticker shock on 3000k and 5000k white LED's puts people right off of them, fast.
And I have to twist peoples arms to install the legaly required flouresent lighting.
What people do want,so it seems, is 50W MR-16 cans more or less every 4'!
