According to Myth Busters 12-3-06

It is best to turn any kind of light off when not in use.

Florecents use only 23 seconds worth of power when first started.

For incondecense lights it is .36 seconds worth of power.

Even with 5 yrs worth of turning them on and off the wear and tear on the bulbs still does not warrent leaving them on all the time.
