The Led Bulbs & Spotlights Bulb that Light up Homes Brilliantly
The above information shows a few of the benefits of using LED bulbs but the main reason is the amount of money that can be saved in electricity costs. Based on average electricity costs of fifteen pence per KWH (kilowatt hour) and using the same time period of forty thousand hours, twenty fifty watt halogens would cost three hundred pounds to run. Compare this with a seven watt Philips Master LED which would cost just forty two pounds to run. This provides a saving of two hundred and fifty eight pounds. This saving is just for one light, a typical lighting installation will have over ten lighting fixtures. Ten lights would a saving of two thousand, five hundred and eighty pounds.
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), this term is generally used by companies to calculate and compare the costs of using various products or services. TCO takes into account the total cost of the bulb in terms of purchase price, running costs and maintenance costs. As this article is written for domestic purposes maintenance costs have been ignored as nobody is going to pay themselves to change a light bulb.
The cost of ownership for a seven watt Philips Master LED would be approximately sixty five pounds, this includes the price of the LED bulb and the total running costs. No additional maintenance costs would need to be calculated as the LED bulb wouldn't need replacing.
The cost of ownership for twenty fifty watt halogens would be approximately three hundred and thirty two pounds; this includes the price of twenty halogen bulbs and the total running costs over the same time period of forty thousand hours. For commercial use, the maintenance costs would also have to be considered as twenty bulbs would need to be replaced by a paid member of staff or by a third party on a contract basis. The total saving based on TCO would be two hundred and sixty pounds. Again this is just for one bulb.
Another benefit of using LED bulbs is the environment. LED bulbs are energy efficient and reduce your carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Changing one halogen bulb to an LED light will save around one hundred kilograms of CO2 per year. This will reduce your carbon footprint and help the planet.
