depends on total wattage.
LED consumes much lesser electricity when compared FL on equal output. |

Do u know how i calaculate the watt? Becos i used to have 2 x t8 but after changing to led. It seem to be high on bill.
I think my led is 5050 300 led. The watt of per strip must mutiply by 3 right? Becos i got 3 strips? |

Are you referring to 5050 60LEDs/m? If yes, it's 14.4W per metre. T8 4Ft is 36W and T5 4FT normal output is 28W.

Just an example.
My original 5 feet lightset has 4 tubes of 80W T5 HO lights. So total energy needed = 4 X 8 = 320W Running 10 hours a day = 3200W Running 1 month = 3200 x 30 = 96,000W My new Led tube (although less bright) = 36W Running 10 hours per day = 360W Running 1 month = 360 x 30 = 10,800W Assuming current tariff = $0.25 per kWh Hence old cost per month = 96 x 0.25 = $24.00 new cost ( with led ) = 10.8 x 0.25 = $2.70 Total savings per month = $24.00 - $2.70 = $21.30. |
