Savings on Electricity Bill by Using LED Christmas Lights Versus Incandescent

Many of you are wondering, are there significant electricity bill savings by switching from incandescent Christmas lights to LED Christmas lights (turned on at most 1 to 2 months during the holiday season)?

Here is the answer based on these simple calculations:

  • Green Supply LED String Lights (10 meters (32.8 feet) with 100 LED bulbs) consume up to 5 watts per string.
  • Regular incandescent Christmas string lights consume 5 to 10 watts per bulb => 500 to 1,000 watts per 100 bulbs string lights.
  • Assume on average Christmas string lights turned on for 6 hours everyday in December and January.
  • Assume cost of electricity bill is $0.15 per kWh
  • Let's begin the calculation based on above consumption and assumption of use:
    • Green Supply LED String Lights electricity bill for December and January:
      • [5 watts * (6 hours/ day * 62 days)] / 1000 * $0.15 kWh => $0.279
    • Regular incandescent string lights electricity bill for December and January:
      • [500 to 1,000 watts * (6 hours/ day * 62 days)] / 1000 * $0.15 kWh => $27.90 to $55.80
    • Electricity bill savings by switching to Green Supply LED String Lights:
      • $55.80 - $0.279 => $55.52 electricity bill savings for 2 months!

Green Supply LED String Light pays for itself with an extra $40 in your pocket!
