Example calculation
Savings with LED lamps vs ordinary light bulbs
​
Total cost of light bulb: (1.40 SEK 1.40/kWh x 25,000 hours x 0.060 kW ) + ( SEK 5 x 25 pcs ) = SEK 2225
​
Total cost LED lamp ( SEK 1.40/kWh x 25,000 hours x 0.007 kW + ( SEK 32.50 x 1 pc) = SEK 278
Savings per LED Lamp 1947:-
If you have 10 lamps today that you change to LED, you save SEK 19,470
