LED vs. Incandescent: How Much Will You Really Save on Your Energy Bill?
Have you ever stopped to think about how much energy your lights consume? If you’re still using incandescent or halogen bulbs , you’re probably paying a lot more on your energy bill than you should. Time to switch to LED lighting and save big!
In this blog you can read why LED lamps are so much more economical, how much you can really save and why switching is the smartest choice.
1. How much energy does an LED bulb use vs. a regular bulb?
The difference between an incandescent lamp , halogen lamp and LED lamp is mainly in the energy consumption .
| Lamp type | Wattage (average) | Costs per year (at 3 hours per day) |
|---|---|---|
| Light bulb | 60W | €31.00 |
| Halogen lamp | 42W | €21.70 |
| LED lamp | 8W | €4.10 |
Savings per lamp per year: Up to €26.90 if you replace an incandescent lamp with an LED lamp!
2. How much do you save in your entire home?
Do you have 10 lamps in your home that are on for an average of 3 hours a day ?
- With incandescent bulbs you pay: €310 per year
- With LED lamps you pay: €41 per year
That's a saving of €269 per year!
3. LED lights last much longer
You often have to replace an incandescent lamp, but hardly ever an LED lamp.
| Lamp type | Lifespan (hours) | How often to replace? |
|---|---|---|
| Light bulb | 1,000 hours | Every 11 months |
| Halogen lamp | 2,000 hours | Every 2 years |
| LED lamp | 25,000 hours | Every 22 years |
With LED, you won't have to buy lamps for years. That not only saves money, but also time and hassle.
