I use auto lights, and I like having most of them in the neutral range so that the color palette isn't thrown off. If it's a candle or lantern, I usually do want a bit of a yellow tint to be natural. I don't like having all the lights on when Sims are asleep. I work nights, and have my bedroom as dark as I can. You'd be surprised how hard it is to get the room dark enough when it has a window. I got a nice Velcro-on window cover, but there is an air conditioner in the other side of the window. Light just poured in through it. I finally put dark filters on the vents of it, and it helped quite a bit. Sorry to get off topic, haha. I do use small lamps for some light in the living area, that are on all the time, just like in real life as well. I hate coming home to a dark house. I use those nightlight-like wall lights for the bathroom. I realize that's kinda silly since the light turns on when they walk in. :p
One thing that bugs me about the game's lights, is that they are all on in the day. That seems unnatural for homes. I wish the game ambient light was bright enough indoors during daylight hours so that they could be off, in residences, anyway.

Oh, and to answer the question about auto lights saving simoleons, I would guess they save maybe about 10-20%. I haven't noticed it taking a huge chunk out of the Bills.
