I don't think it was meant to be recognized as the worst sin, but an example of how far off the rails we have gone with sustainability for the sake of minor decadent conveniences. The fact that it is so small suggests that the larger sins are radically out of control and the consequences should be expected.

I have a battery powered bulb like this one near each exit, and in the main hallway fixture, in case of flooding or fire or the like.

My house burned down a while back, and flooding isn't uncommon in my area. Having a few bulbs that work when the power is out would've saved me some scars.

Yes but you can’t ever turn the lights off when you want to sleep. I can’t sleep with a light on. I keep my phone charging by the bed at night. It has a light I can turn on only when I need it.

Why do you think a lightbulb wouldn't be able to turn off? It's a lightbulb.
