How much can I save with LED?
With the winter days fast approaching it is time to start searching for energy efficient lighting. Here we are breaking down exactly how much you can save on your energy bill by switching to LED.
Replace bulbs less often
So assuming a rate of 18p per kw, a household of ten light-bulbs, and with 8 hours of lighting used over a three year period this is what your ROI looks like. Saving over 600£ !
Use less wattage
If you take a look at this table, you can see that for example you can see that no matter the light fitting (GU10, e27, Bayonet and many more ) LED bulbs are highly energy efficient, as a result they are up to 90% more efficient than the Halogen equivalent.
| Light Output | Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) | Incandescent Light Bulbs |
|---|---|---|
| Lumens | Watts | Watts |
| 450 | 4-5 | 40 |
| 800 | 6-8 | 60 |
| 1,100 | 9-13 | 75 |
To conclude our LED has a life span of up to 30,000 hours on average. Also our LEDs last up to 20 times more than a traditional halogen bulb, with LED wattage replacement 10 times lower.
