There's one light in my place that is on the most, a 60W lamp bulb and is on an average of 3-4hrs a day. All other lights in our place are on for short periods during a specific task. No lights on during the day ever.

I just used 8 hours a day as an example. Lot of people would have SOME lights on for an average of 8 hours per day - adjusted as a per year basis to account for the winter months, when lights are on far longer.
In my house, all the rooms have some natural light, so I don't think that there are any lights that would average 8 hours per day over the whole year. There would definitely be some that average 7-8 hours per day in the winter months, and that's with a well naturally lit house. When the sun goes down at 5 and we go to bed at midnight, that's 7 hours per day right there for the lights in our main area.
