How many euros do you save with energy-efficient lights?

With energy-efficient LED lights, you consume less power. This way, you save on your energy bill right away. An LED light is more efficient than a halogen light or a light bulb. This means it has the same light output at a lower wattage. For example, 10 halogen lights that burn 4 hours per day consume about € 100 of power per year. A set of 10 LED lights cost about € 20 for the same period. This way, you can save up to € 80 per year.

To save costs, you first look at the energy consumption. But in the end, you also save money when the light lasts long. LED lights last about 15 times longer than a light bulb. A light bulb lasts about 1000 hours, a halogen light 3500 hours, and an LED light 15.000 hours. Some LED lights are more expensive on average, but you earn the money back with the energy consumption and the longer lifespan.

The consumption of a smart LED light is a bit higher on average, because of the standby consumption. You light is always turned on in the background, so it can respond quickly. But you still save money with smart lighting. You rarely use smart lights at 100%, so they consume less that their energy label indicates. This label is based on the peak power. In addition, you can turn off a light you forgot remotely, or you can make the lights turn on or off automatically.
