LED lighting is the sensible choice when comes to garden lighting and, just to give some substance to that claim, below are some comparisons between LED floodlights and traditional floodlights.
First, we'll take a look at some financial comparisons:
To run a traditional 150 watt flood light for a year uses 383.5 kilowatt hours.
To run a 150 watt equivalent LED flood light uses 20.4 kilowatt hours.
The annual cost of running one 150 watt traditional floodlight is £49.85.
The annual cost of running one 150 watt equivalent LED floodlight is £2.65
To run a traditional 150 watt floodlight for a year uses the same amount of energy as making 41 hot drinks per day
To run a 150 watt equivalent LED floodlight for a year uses the same amount of energy as making 2 hot drinks per day
To run a traditional 150 watt floodlight for a year uses the same amount of energy as doing 6.3 wash loads in your washing
To run a 150 watt equivalent LED floodlight for a year uses the same amount of energy as doing just one third of a wash load in your washing machine per day
Now for some CO2 comparisons:
The annual CO2 emissions from running one 150 watt traditional floodlight for a year are 164kg
The annual CO2 emissions from running one 150 watt equivalent LED floodlight for a year are 8kg
Running one 150 watt traditional floodlight for a year is equivalent in CO2 pollution to driving 683 miles in your car
Running one 150 watt equivalent LED floodlight for a year is equivalent in CO2 pollution to driving 36 miles in your car.
Security lighting is essential and we feel the figures above more than substantiate our claims that LED floodlights being the sensible choice.
