Maybe we could say:
... A light bulb, a refrigerator and a TV set.

... A light bulb, a refrigerator and a TV set.
... Um bico de luz, geladeira e televisão.
That's it!
Or:
The consumers accused of making "gatos" (clandestine connections to the electricity supply) defend themselves, by claiming that they consume little energy because they only have a small light, a refrigerator and a television.

Into That would only mean one thing: that there is no need to steal energy.
