A Bright Idea?

Light-Emitting Diode (LED) bulbs use approximately one fifth of the energy of traditional incandescent light bulbs, with most household LEDs using less than 12w. Outdated incandescent bulbs require 60w to provide the same lighting service.

Energy waste from incandescent light bulbs significantly increases global emissions and increases energy bills.

Potential Savings

These costs add up quickly. Savings for a typical home with 20 bulbs and electricity which costs $.17/kWh is shown below:

Daily Weekly Monthly Annual
Incandescent $1 $8 $36 $446
LED $0 $1 $7 $85
Savings $0 $6 $29 $361

However, these costs are different for different customers and different circumstances. BulbApp allows consumers to model their own circumstances, including:

  • Number of bulbs
  • Wattage of initial and replacement bulbs
  • Cost of electricity
  • Hours of bulb use per day

Using these inputs, BulbApp will return daily, weekly, monthly, and annual costs and savings information.
