We are often asked to do energy studies for our customers - to quanitify the benefits of using our Highest Output LEDs - you will see below that the results are astounding.
We have not factored in any savings for the reduced maitenance cost created by using the 100,000 hour* life products.
FULL POWER LED EACH LED RUNNING AT FULL POWER RANGE = 2.46W EACH (PEOPLE CALL THIS 3W) 12 LEDS PER FIXTURE = 29.52W TOTAL POWER LUMENS PER LED = 170 TOTAL LUMENS PER SHELF = 2040 FIXTURE EFFICIENCY = 97% TOTAL USABLE LUMENS = 1978 HALF POWER LED EACH LED RUNNING AT HALF POWER RANGE = 1.3W EACH (PEOPLE CALL THIS 1W) 12 LEDS PER FIXTURE = 15.6W TOTAL POWER LUMENS PER LED = 100 TOTAL LUMENS PER SHELF = 1200 FIXTURE EFFICIENCY = 97% TOTAL USABLE LUMENS = 1164 T5 FLUORESCENT COMPETITOR F21T5 3FT = 42W TOTAL POWER (TAKEN FROM COMPETITOR SPEC SHEET) LUMENS (F21T5) = 2000 (BASED ON A PHILIPS LAMP) FIXTURE EFFIECINCY = 60% (360 DEGREES OF LIGHT, DIFFICULT TO FOCUS) TOTAL USABLE LUMENS = 1200 POWER STUDY FULL POWER LEDS VS T5 29.52W VS 42W = 29.7% ENERGY SAVINGS 1978 LUMENS VS 1200 = 64.8% MORE LIGHT HALF POWER LEDS VS. T5 15.6W VS 42W = 62.8% ENERGY SAVINGS 1164 LUMENS VS 1200 = 3% LESS LIGHT (THIS WOULD NOT BE NOTICIBLE) The high power solution yields an energy savings of 29.7% and 64.8% more light. The half power solution yields an energy savings of 62.8% and 3% less light.
We would be pleased to complete an energy analysis of your particular application.
