(may be broke/outdated!)
We have a lot of vanity mirrors and other fixtures with 4+ light bulbs in them. Would taking some of these out help, or does electricity simply continue to flow when the other bulbs are illuminated?
Our bills are OUT OF HAND. We working on replacing many with CFLs, but can’t use them with all fixtures.
Thanks!

no it would not because the electricity would still flow the best thing to do is to simply keep them off as much as possible
Yes it would help, contrary to what the first person said. In order for electricity to flow in a socket a lightbulb needs to be in it, this completes the current. So if u have no bulb in but turn the switch on, no electricity is lost because the circuit is not completed. The bulb can act as the light switch, unscrew it-it is completely off, screw it back in the power is on. (if you leave the real light switch in the on position)
So Yes, you would save money and electricity
Of course it would, because when it is on you would have less watts of power burning.
I have created a calculator that can compare the running costs of conventional lights and their energy efficiency equivalents.

Also consider LED light replacements for energy efficiency.
Sometimes its better to replace the whole fitting with one that uses compact fluorescent or LED technology.
