As a EE major, I doubt that is the case. However, for an incandescent bulb the tremendous change in filament temperature between off and on would cause earlier failure of the filament when cycled more often.

I've always been told that a light takes less power to keep it on all of the time than it does to turn it on & off. It supposedly takes alot more electricity to start up a light than just to leave it on.
