I guess that may depend on what kind of lights (and how many) you have...

I understand that 120W is continuous when the compressor is working? Now the question is: how often does it turn on and for how long? My metering device (it is not called a Kill-a-watt, but it does the same) registers how long a device is on. This is good for checking how much time a fridge is on and off per day. The problem is with appliances which do not turn completely off.
