Calculation of cost savings for outdoor lighting

Calculation of cost savings for outdoor lighting

Have you heard and probably even thought you can save money by choosing LED technology? But how much? This tip will guide you in the calculations

What do you currently have for lighting?
Understanding what your current lights are is the key? 400W? 1000W? Ballasts? Keep in mind that most HID lights have a ballast, and that a ballast consumes 15% more than the bulb consumes alone. So, if you have 400W HPS lamps, chances are you will consume at least 460 watts per device.

What will be your new LED solution?
As stated in many previous tips, it's easy to switch to LED technology if you return ghost candles in watts. Determine the appropriate lighting levels, then find the best solution to meet your needs. This is how you get to your new fixture and the watts it consumes.

Put all together
So, if you go through the first two steps (trick - we can make it easy), how do you calculate your savings? Suppose, for example, that you decide to upgrade your existing 400W shoe box device with a 100W upgrade. It's a good start. How many hours do you run each night? What is your cost of electricity? Knowing this helps us solve the calculation.
But wait, there is an easy button. Most of manufacture company's have built an online savings calculator that takes all the trouble to do it. Try it or give us a call and we'll be able to execute the numbers for you. Click her to get more information.
