I recently replaced a bunch of 50W of Halogen lamps (came with the apartment) with 1W LEDs. It's quite a bit darker, but I got used to having more directed light. My energy bill dropped by about 70% without any other changes. It's interesting how quickly lighting costs can run up.
- brianobush 17y agoCan I ask what your costs were? How long do you estimate it will take to recoup your capital costs?
- tybris 17y agoI'm not sure, but 1W LED lights shouldn't be more than $10 (mine were $7,50 iirc). I could say it took me 1 month, but that wouldn't be entirely fair since I have significantly reduced the lighting and changed the way I use it. Something which I probably would not have been able to do by, for example, reducing the number of lamps since that creates an annoying bright/dark distribution of light)
