LED Energy Savings - How much does that shop light cost?

Power is consumed in watts, or on your power bill in kilo watts per hour, that's 1000 watts per hour. Typical commercial rate for electricity runs around 8 Cents per KW/H, not much.

Power consumed by one light;

Shop light - 8' fluorescent T12 - 255W

Shop Light - 8' - LED Light - 65W

Thats 190 watts saved per hour of usage, still not much, although...

Times by 10 hours a day, 6 days a week, 52 weeks a year, equals (592,800 W/h) or 592 KW/h per year , thats a little more...

How much is does this ONE light cost us?

592KW/H at the rate of 0.08 cents, drum roll ...

Much anticipated savings...... $47 per year , from ONE light , from saving energy , I'm impressed!

Might not seem like much, but this is only one light and quickly increases with 10, 30 or 100 lights.

The most impressive benefit from LED lighting is the lifespan , around 20 years , one light will have saved $940, paying for its self many times over.
