Lights on or off?
I'm heading out of town until Sunday morning. I don't have a timer for my lights. Should I keep them on or off? I generally have them running from 8AM-5Pm every day.

Why not just buy a timer? You just need a cheap $10 timer.

You can do 72 hrs with the lights off without any negative effects, but I would buy a time like mentioned above to take the thinking out of it. Plus it will make it easier on you
