> adding a ‘smart switch’ that uses 0.5W to a lighting fixture that has a 10W LED light bulb increases its average power usage by about 50%

Shouldn't that be 5%, not 50%?

they are assuming the 10W is only running 10% of the time and the smart switch is running all of the time. That puts the average use for the light at 1W and 0.5W for the smart switch.

Ah, got it, thanks!
