What this amounts up to in short is that the LEDs would cost you well under $18. Now I do not know how this would figure into your math because you did not share your computations with everyone. But being as they would be roughly thirty-six percent of the costs that you have erroneously stated here I would have to surmise that the cost of running one would also be 36% of the price which you have quoted here-- in other words $0.54 a year!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12887372856138415320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4123756793345085446.post-51649601797624462232012-11-18T00:35:41.122-06:002012-11-18T00:35:41.122-06:00Good article, I just have a few points. the 100 w...Good article, I just have a few points. the 100 watt incandescent costs about a dollar burns 100 watts of energy, and lasts usually less then a year. The 100 watt equivalent Compact Fluorescent burns 23 watts and lasts maybe 7 years. The 100 watt equivalent USA made LED burns 10 watts and costs $54-$100 and may last 35 years. The incandescent and the cfl are like a dollar a year, the led is $1.50-$2.85 a year. The trick I find is when to adopt LED's? The price is going to come down sooner or later.goshenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01504445264703455229noreply@blogger.com
