    It might be technically true in what the cost is but it's misleading because it does not reflect a realistic situation i.e. of a 100 watt bulb being on for 4 hours EVERY day

    Many of our bulbs are on for that long. If it's not realistic where you are I think you're either kidding yourself about how much you use your lighting, or should be praised and admired for your thriftiness.

    Are they 100 Watt bulbs ??

    I only have ONE 100 watt bulb and that is a ceiling light in a bedroom so on any day it is on for minutes overall,even in Winter . all other lamps are 40 or 60 watt and only one of them is on of an evening for any length of time ,that being the living room table lamp. The kitchen is a twin fluorescent fitting and the amount it is used on any day will be well under one hour I am sure .
