Understanding LED Lighting Savings
Formula
LED bulbs use 75-85% less energy than incandescent bulbs and last 15-25 times longer. Replacing a 60W incandescent with a 9W LED saves 51 watts per hour of use — that adds up to significant savings over a year.
For a home with 20 bulbs used 5 hours daily, switching to LEDs can save over $150 per year in electricity. LED bulbs also produce less heat, reducing cooling costs in summer months.
Common use cases:
- Home energy bill reduction
- Office lighting upgrade planning
- Environmental impact reduction
