Wouldn't a new user wonder why it takes 10-15 seconds for the controller
to wake up when they take it out of the cradle?  Shouldn't it respond
immediately like a conventional remote?

My reputation is growing on this board as being non-green but for the
pennies a year this uses in power it's a worthwhile tradeoff.  Dimmed
the controller uses 290 mA from a 3.7 V battery.  This is 1.07 W.  At
90% efficiency from the switching PS, it's drawing 1.19 W.

That's 10.44 kWh per year.  At 5.2 cents per kWh, that's $0.54 a year!
