LED light vs. incandescent light bulb vs. CFLS Energy Efficiency & Energy Costs Environmental Impact Important Facts Light output LED Incandescent Compact Fluorescents LEDs use less power (watts) per unit of light generated (lumens). LEDs help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from power plants and lower electric bills LIFE SPAN (AVERAGE) 50000 hours 1200 hours 8000 hours WATTS OF ELECTRICITY USED (EQUIVALENT TO 60 WATT BULB) 6-9 watts 60 watts 13-15 watts KILO-WATTS OF ELECTRICITY USED (30 INCANDESCENT BULB PER YEAR EQUIVALENT) 329 KWh/yr. 3285 KWh/yr. 767 KWh/yr. ANNUAL OPERATING COST (30 INCENDESCENT BULB PER YEAR EQUEVALENT) $92.12/year Save $826.88/year! $919/year $214.76/year LEDs use less power (watts) per unit of light generated (lumens). LEDs help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from power plants and lower electric bills Contains the TOXIC Mercury No No Yes - Mercury is very toxic to your health and the environment RoHS Compliant Yes Yes No - contains 1mg-5mg of Mercury and is a major risk to the environment Carbon Dioxide Emissions (30 bulbs per year) Lower energy consumption decreases: CO2 emissions, sulfur oxide, and high-level nuclear waste. 451 pounds/year. 4500 pounds/year. 1051 pounds/year. LEDs use less power (watts) per unit of light generated (lumens). LEDs help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from power plants and lower electric bills Sensitivity to low temperatures None Some Yes - may not work under negative 10 degrees Fahrenheit or over 120 degrees Fahrenheit Sensitive to humidity No Some Yes On/off Cycling Switching a CFL on/off quickly, in a closet for instance, may decrease the lifespan of the bulb. No Effect Some Yes - can reduce lifespan drastically Turns on instantly Yes Yes No - takes time to warm up Durability Very Durable - LEDs can handle jarring and bumping Not Very Durable - glass or filament can break easily Not Very Durable - glass can break easily Heat Emitted 3.4 btu's/hour 85 btu's/hour 30 btu's/hour Failure Modes Not typical Some Yes - may catch on fire, smoke, or omit an odor Lumens Watts Watts Watts 450 4-5 40 9-13 800 6-8 60 13-15 1,100 9-13 75 18-25 1,600 16-20 100 23-30 2,600 25-28 150 30-55 Products Highlights Click on picture to view LED products LED Waterproof Underwater Pool lamp 10W Spotlight (Warm White) LED Waterproof Underwater Pool lamp 10W Spotlight (White) MR16 12V 4.5W LED bulb (White) LED Tarrif Calculator Compare your current tariff and your expected tarrif when you switch to LED!
