How much can I save with LED lighting

How much can I save with LED lighting

Lighting quickly determines more than 20% of your energy costs. For homes, this is between 15% -20% and for companies even between 30% -60%.

Fortunately, there is a "bright spot"! You can very easily save on your energy costs by replacing your old lighting with LED lamps. In almost all cases the lamps can be replaced one-on-one. Very simple!

In this article, I show how much you can save with LED per lamp type, and what other advantages and disadvantages there are.

As you can see you can save at least 25% to 90% with LED lighting. I will explain the additional cost benefits below and handle the purchase price.

Lifetime and replacement costs

Due to the longer lifespan of LED lamps you also have fewer replacement costs. With replacement costs, I mean the purchase and installation of the lamp. For example, you have to buy and replace a conventional fluorescent tube at least 2 to 4 times in the lifetime of 1 LED fluorescent tube.

At home, replacing an LED lamp only costs you time and effort. But companies also have to take personnel costs into account, rent the necessary materials (such as aerial work platforms) or even hire an external installer. For places where the lighting is difficult to reach, the saving with LED can increase considerably.

Ballast/ballast

In contrast to conventional and high-frequency fluorescent lighting, LED lighting has no control gear. So you do not use any extra ballast, but only the Wattage that the lamp really needs.

Energy Investment Allowance (EIA)

The EcoBright LED lamps to meet the requirements of the RvO so that our business customers can make use of the Energy Investment Allowance.

With the EIA you can deduct 41.5% of the investment (incl. Installation costs) from your taxable profit. In other words, a nice tax benefit. In the end, your investment is not too bad!

Do you want to know more about this? Then read our article about the Energy Investment Allowance.

Purchase price

The purchase price of LED is often higher than that of an "old" lamp. But if you look at the lifespan and energy saving, then you are almost always more economical with LED. In addition, cost saving is not the only advantage of LED. Also, consider these benefits:

  • The LED contains no toxic substances such as mercury.
  • LED is often dimmable. Energy-saving lamps not.
  • LED is less breakable. Benefit for spaces where food is used.
  • LED is suitable for extremely cold rooms (eg cold stores).
  • And so on.
