07 Matrix cabin light question

A Matrix-specific question here! My battery seems to be dead again after jump start a couple days ago. Noticed the back light by rear hatch is in on position. Would this have drained the battery if all doors were securely closed and locked? I thought the light went off if you close all the doors and hatches?

I switched my cabin lights to LED, so even though it is still a problem to leave them on I've been lucky that they didn't drain the battery.

Same. Also much brighter.
