Energy Efficient Lighting

LED Lights -The Superior Choice

Light Emitting Diodes (LED) are the most energy efficient source of light on the marketplace.  They create very little heat; virtually all of the energy consumed is turned into light.  Hence they are not wasteful like the ordinary (incandescent) light bulbs.

• Turn on instantly (no delay or flickering)
• * Do not use mercury (as do florescent tubes and CFL's).  No disposal problems.
• * Close to natural sunlight in colour, better for both one's eye-sight and moods!
• * Are usually directional, avoiding wasting the light that is thrown in every direction.

How do I compare LED lights to my regular lights?

LED's use about 1/10 of the power of regular incandescent bulbs.  So if you want a "40 W" bulb equivalent in light output then order a 4W LED. A LED light bulb can last you up to 100,000 hours compared to 8,000 for compact fluorescent and 1,000 for a incandescent. That averages out to 12 hours of light per day for 12 years. LED light bulbs are so energy efficient that, depending on how often you have them on, they'll actually pay for themselves in a year or two.

To be more technical and accurate, lights are rated in lumens. If the quantity of light is important, do compare various light sources in this common measurement.

How much money will I save by switching to LED?

This will depend on the bulbs. For example lets look at a 40w incandescent and the SBLD 128s Obstruction. Both are rated at about 500 lumens but the LED light is rated at 5w and will last for 50,000 hours.

Difference: $ 326!  As electricity prices rise this number is likely to increase significantly.  In 12 years electricity will likely cost at least $0.20/kw, making the difference in operating cost to be closer to $700!
