If you’re thinking about upgrading from more traditional styles of light fixtures to new LED fixtures, or even retrofitting your existing fixtures to accept LED lamps, you’re probably wondering if you’ll notice a significant savings in your energy bill.
In almost every case, the answer is yes!
LED prices have dropped considerably over time, but some shoppers may still experience sticker shock when comparing a new LED fixture to their existing traditional fixtures.
Much of the cost of LEDs is up-front, due to their minimal power draw and their longer lifespans compared to traditional lighting. With lower electric bills and fewer replacements needed, you will quickly find yourself saving money with LEDs.
Typically, an LED light will cost as little as 1/6th as much as equivalent traditional lighting to operate, meaning that you can keep the lights on 24/7 without worry!
What’s more, new LEDs can last upwards of 100,000 hours – A 20-100x increase over typical incandescent bulbs! This means that while LED lighting may be more expensive up front, your investment will quickly pay off as months and years go by, and your original LED lights are still working good as new.
With all of this in mind, it’s not hard to see how upgrading to LED is one of the best cost-saving choices you can make when it comes to lighting!
