How many watts does a normal tube light use.
Led tube light watts per hour.
89 watts 2 x2 u shape lamp.
This ismainly available in 3 diameters.
This depends on the type of tube light.
Simply the more lumens you can get from a watt the more efficient the lamp is at doing its job.
Designed to replace fluorescent tube bulbs these led tubes are available in 8 and 16 watts which replace traditional 25 watt and 40 watt t8 t10 t12 fluorescent tubes.
In this case the utility would pay a rebate based on the 372 kwh of energy consumption saved over the course of the year from the more efficient lighting.
An average led light bulb that outputs the equivalent of the 60w incandescent fixture uses roughly 8 9 watts.
If you operate your lighting for 4 320 hours per year 12 hours per day 360 days per year the 100w par38 would use 432 kwh per year and the 14w led par38 would use just over 60 kwh per year.
A little more than 7 10ths of a penny at this rate.
You want to calculate your 60 watt light bulb energy use and cost per hour.
60 watts multiplied by one hour is 60 watt hours of energy.
Upgrading five light bulbs to leds using 9 watts of electricity would likely cost 1 30 to power for the month vs.
The efficiency of leds and other light sources is measured in lumens per watt and this can often be found on the packaging of led light bulbs.
A ftl fluorescent tubular lamp.
So how much does it cost to run a 60 watt light bulb for 1 hour.
On the packaging it is usually on the back written something like this.
06 kwh multiplied by 12 cents is 0072 cents.
A typical cheap 60 watt equivalent to incandescent led light bulb is advertised as providing 800 lumens lasting up to 10 000 hours at 10 watts.
What ever the rating is stamped on it.
That s 88 lumens of light per watt of power the led draws.
The 8 70 of the incandescent lamps.
The old 40 20watt with 38mm dia called t12 lamp 36 18watt with 26mm dia.
That s a significant cost savings.
Basically the linear tubular light is called tube light.
Because fluorescent lights are often installed in high ceilings in commercial sites there are additional savings because the frequency of changing bulbs is greatly reduced.
From 30 or 60 watts for normal tube lights these where not classed as environmentally friendly though you can still source them fluorescent discharge tubes r.
Lumens are the overall light output or quantity of light produced and a watt of course is a unit of power that is used to measure the power consumption of a lamp.
Divide by 1 000 to get 06 kwh.
