Good news, bad news.

Electricity prices are only going one way and we all know which way that is.... The good news is that with smarter thinking your bills can go down not up. Far too often we look at the purchase price and not the lifetime cost. Below is a life cycle comparison for you, halogen vs. LED. This is a comparison of one lamp only; many homes can have up to 50 of these. All gures can vary a little; 50w halogen lamp Purchase price: $2 Life cycle: 1000 hours Wattage: 60 watts Cost over 50,000 hours: 50,000 x 60w= 3,000kwh x 0.24cents $720 Lamp cost: over 50,000 hours $100 (50 lamps) Life cycle comparison: $820 9w LED lamp Purchase price: $30 Life cycle: 50,000 hours Wattage: 9 watts Cost over 50,000 hours: 50,000 x 9w = 450kwh x 0.24 cents $108 Lamp cost: over 50,000 hours $30 (1 lamp) Life cycle comparison: $138 One single LED bulb can save you $682. If you replaced 50 lamps over their life cycle based on todays pricing the savings would be $34,100. But theres more. In the Nederlands they have come up with a brilliant idea. Wi-Fi connected lamps will be available from early next year. With the use of this technology, and some creative thinking, the possibilities are endless.
