In my test, light_control example consumes about 17mA, same for both of client and server.
I'm using nRF52DK, PCA10040, and SDK is "nrf5_SDK_for_Mesh_v0.9.2-Alpha". I measured power consumption from "nRF current measurement" pins in nRF52DK board.
I think 17mA is too much.
Is there any point to make power consumption lower?
