LED is highly energy efficient – Less heat, more light, lower cost
Use less electricity for the same light output - 85% less electricity when compared to conventional lighting and around 18% less electricity compared to CFL. Worldwide, around 20% of electricity is consumed in lighting. LED can make a big impact on your energy use. Savings really ratchet up in areas such as security, where lights are left on for longer periods. The average EU household has 24 lamp points and there is an LED alternative for nearly all of them. Businesses can make huge savings whilst being more green.
Over the lifetime of an LED product, less electricity and replacement products are used; saving even more energy in transportation, packaging and maintenance when compared to conventional lamps. All this adds up to lower CO2 emissions, a win-win for you and the environment. As LED lamps are very efficient, they are the perfect product to compliment renewable energy sources such as solar panels or wind power.

LEDs last much longer - Saving even more
Typically LEDs have a lifetime of 25,000 hours – that is over 22 years if used for 3 hours per day. Plus, with no filament LED lamps are more robust. This will result in you saving money on replacement lamps and building maintenance. Conventional bulbs last around 1,000-2,000 hours (1-2 years) and CFL around 6,000 -15,000 hours (6 to 13 years). The cost of LED has dropped over the last few years leading to substantial reduction of the payback period.
LED is Instant ON - No waiting for light
LED lamps switch ON and OFF instantly and are flicker free – There is no warm up time unlike many CFLs
