Subsequently, one may also ask, how much do LED lights really save?
Comparing Costs: CFLs vs. LEDs
Incandescent | LED | |
---|---|---|
Watts used | 60W | 10W |
No. of bulbs needed for 25,000 hours of use | 21 | 1 |
Total purchase price of bulbs over 23 years | $21 | $8 |
Total cost of electricity used (25,000 hours at $0.12perkWh) | $180 | $30 |
Likewise, people ask, how much electricity does a LED night light use?
The light should have a UL(UnderwritersLaboratories) listing for rated wattage. This ishow muchelectricity the night light will usewhen it ison. Typical incandescent or neon night lights useabout 1.5to 7.5 watts of energy. LED and electroluminescentnightlights can use less than a singlewatt.
LED light bulbs use between 80% and 85%lessenergy than the incandescent bulbs (the ones youusein lamps) they replace, according to Consumer Reports. And ontopof being more energy efficient, LEDs also lastlonger— an estimated 23 years — so switching overwillsave you a lot of money over time.
