The energy use of a refrigerator is not majorily from the light inside, it's from the refrigeration compressor, the functional part of the refrigerator! In fact the majority of electricity energy used in a home is to move heat from one place to another. Refrigerators move heat from inside the refrigerator to outside the refrigeratpr, then your A/C unit moves that same heat from inside your home to outside you home. All at the cost of higher electricity bills!! Something my physics professor stressed to us.
