LED Bulb Savings

How much money and power you save by switching old bulbs or tube lights to LED.

How this works

Yearly kWh saved = bulbs x (old watts – LED watts) x hours per day x 365 / 1000. A 9 W LED gives the same light (about 800 lumens) as a 60 W incandescent or a 15 W energy saver (CFL). A 40 W tube light is replaced by an 18 W LED tube.
