Incandescent Bulb Electricity Converted to Light

You know how hot incandescent bulbs become. That’s because they convert only 5 to 10 percent of your electricity into light; they waste the rest as heat.

LED Bulb Electricity Converted to Light

LED bulbs are far more efficient. They convert 60 percent of their electricity into light, so they consume far less electricity. You pay less, you pollute less.

LEDs Are Longer Lasting

LEDs last about 25 times as long as incandescent lighting and three times as long as CFLs; we’re talking maybe 25,000 hours of light.

LEDs Made From Recyclable Material

Environmental Efficiencies

  • Another benefit of LEDs is that they are made mostly from recycled aluminum.
    • 95% of the materials are made from recycled materials.
    • 98% percent of the bulb itself is recyclable.

by | Jul 6, 2016 | business, incentives

Lighting plays an important role in creating a work environment that’s both pleasant and productive – and it’s a big part of your electric bill. That’s why it pays to install high-efficiency lighting systems. You’ll lower your operating costs while maintaining adequate lighting levels. New efficient lighting technologies provide direct or indirect lighting. Best of all, they use up to 30 percent less energy than standard fluorescent lighting equipment. That can mean energy savings and significantly lower operating costs.

With Duke Energy’s Smart $aver Incentive program,
businesses can receive cash
for installing high-efficiency lighting.

The use of energy efficient lighting enables your business to improve its bottom line by reducing energy consumption. And Smart $aver incentives help lower the costs associated with upgrades.

By taking advantage of the Smart $aver program you can:

  • Help buy down the incremental cost difference between standard and energy efficient equipment.
  • Invest in high-efficiency equipment without exceeding annual budgets.
  • Contribute to a greener environment by reducing the amount of natural resources needed to keep your business running.
  • Defer the need to construct additional electric-generating facilities, thereby keeping regional energy rates low and reducing emissions.
