Unplugging gear

Light bulbs seldom go out with steady current. They go out when you flip the switch to turn it on. TV's with tubes did not turn all of the way off when you shut them down for a reason. Probably to maintain a constant temperature all of the time. Expansion and contraction of components are reduced in this way. The Navy's Submarines keep everything on all of the time, as do I. But I use things all of the time. The Navy does not want to flip a switch and get stuck at sea. In your case going many days between use I would probably shut it down. Never having done that I would probably forget and leave it on.
