Should I say anything?...

...to my neighbours about the fact they leave their kitchen light on all night, every night? It's not like it causes me annoyance, exactly, although it does make my bedroom lighter at night because my bedroom overlooks the back garden and their kitchen's at the back of the house. The main reason it bugs me really is just that it's not very eco-friendly to use that much electricity for no apparent reason. I've been down at various times in the night to go to the bathroom or whatever and the light is always on and nobody's ever in their kitchen. Should I go round and just say something, or keep my beak out of matters that don't concern me?
Random, I know.

It would really annoy me if there was a light shining into my bedroom at night. When I lived with my mum I had to have a blackout roller blind because of the streetlights and I can't sleep if there is light in the room.
As for saying something, it depends how well you know them, but they'll probably think you're odd. My neighbour has fixed a leaking pipe of ours that was annoying him and it took him three weeks to tell us about it! If he'd mentioned it in passing we would have fixed it ourselves. Neighbours are odd aren't they?!
Haha, yeah, me too. Maybe she could say it's because it shines in her window and she can't sleep, that sounds less weird to me.
im sure they're fully aware its left on at night and dont really need you input on it not being very eco-friendly! its them who has to pay the bill anyway
fair point about the light shining into your room but close the curtains/blinds/whatever!
Since we've had the dog we leave a lamp on for him, so now turn the big light off.
I wouldn't say anything unless the light coming into your room is bothering you.
