Energy Saving
Energy Efficient LED vs. Traditional Incandescent Light Bulb
LED light bulbs are vastly superior to halogen, lasting over ten times longer while consuming 85% less electricity. This means that by opting for LED bulbs over halogen, you could save up to £300 per year on your lighting costs!
See below an example of how much savings can be made by making the switch from a 60 watt incandescent lamp to a 5 watt LED bulb
| Description | Value |
|---|---|
| Current Lamp Wattage (Incandescent lamp) | 60 W |
| No. of hours on per day | 10 |
| x 365 days | 219,000 |
| x 12p kWh pence per hour cost ** | total/1000 (£26.28 per year) |
| Low Energy Wattage (LED lamp) * | 5 W |
| No. of hours on per day | eg.10 |
| x 365 days | 18,250 |
| x 12p kWh pence per hour cost ** | total/1000 (£2.19 per year) |
| Current price per annum | £26.28 |
| New price per annum | £2.19 |
| Annual saving per lamp | £24.09 |
* based on 5 watt low energy LED lamp and a 60 watt traditional incandescent household lamp ** based on standard energy charge 12p kWh | |
