Energy Stats

A Less Costly Bulb

Typical 100 watt incandescent light bulbs, if left on all day for one year, will operate 8,760 hours. If you multiply the wattage (100) times this you get an energy cost of 876,000 watt hours or 876 kilowatts. If  you assume your energy costs you 10 cents per kW then your energy tab for the bulb is $87.60 per year.  Compare this to an energy efficient fluorescent bulb which uses one fourth the electricity and so costs $21.90.  A savings of $65.70 per year for a single bulb. Imagine if you used fluorescents for all of your bulbs.  It just makes cents!
