Energy efficient lighting Updated: 08 Jun 2009
Light bulb calculator
Sorry - you need javascript enabled to view the Light bulb calculator.
Notes
- Figures for savings are indicative only. Assumptions below.
- The most savings can be made by switching to energy saving bulbs in areas where the lights are on for the longest, such as living rooms, hallways and stairs.
Assumptions
- We assume you replace 100 Watt ordinary bulbs with 20 Watt energy efficient bulbs.
- We haven't factored in the costs of the bulbs because although enery saver bulbs are more expensive than ordinary bulbs they last much longer, so overall bulb cost is approximately the same.
- We assume electricity costs 20 cents per kWh.
Information in this report was developed with funding from the Electricity Commission. For more information about energy efficient lighting see the www.rightlight.govt.nz website.
