What kind of savings can be expected when switching to LED lights?

An installation of 50W 230V GU10 halogens can now be replaced with the same quantity of 5W LED 230V GU10 LED equivalents, with no reduction in illumination and an immediate 90% reduction in energy consumption.

This is good news for the domestic user. Apply the same approach to a commercial application, for example a hotel or offices where hundreds of lighting fixtures are involved and the savings become massive. Of course the savings don't stop there as maintenance costs are also reduced dramatically.

This is because most quality LED lamps are guaranteed to give an average of at least 30,000 hours life compared with the GU10 halogen of just 2,000 hours average life.
