Energy Consumption One of the biggest concerns of running a household is the consumption of electricity (and its cost). Energy consumption or electricity use is a strong factor in deciding what kind of appliances or lighting one should use. A lot of people put a lot of emphasis on installing energy efficient ACs, geysers and refrigerators. But they fail to realize the potential savings of using LED Battens compared to conventional tube lights.

How much potential savings, you ask? Let’s crunch some numbers. For This exercise, let’s say we replace a conventional tubelight (40W) with an Orient LED Batten (18W). Below is a chart that analyzes how much savings one LED Batten can achieve compared to previous lighting technologies:

So from the above chart, it’s clearly evident that Orient’s LED Batten saves over twice the cost of a tubelights and over five-times that of incandescent. It’s also important to realize that we got this saving from just one tube. If we were to use 5 LED Battens, the savings would go up to well above Rs 2000 per year.

That is definitely a huge number to trim off your energy bills. Just keep in mind – the higher the number of fixtures, the more the savings. You can start saving from day one just by making the right choice when it comes to lighting your home.

Heat Production ?

Conventional tubelights tend to slowly lose their brightness over time and even end up burning some of its parts; the choke being the most common example. That is because tubelights – and even CFLs to some extent – generate nearly thrice the heat of an LED. So, apart from producing heat, conventional tubelights can also increase your cooling costs.
