The annual energy cost of an LED using a lighting control is $11.28, compared to $27.83 for a T12 using magnetic ballasts. Our new fluorescent vs. LED comparison chart tells that story, and more.
Fluorescents, LEDs go head-to-head: a comparison
The results are in: the operating cost of an LED 50% less than that of a T12
If you’re wondering how much more efficient LEDs are than T12s, consider these results: the annual energy cost of an LED using a lighting control is $11.28, compared to $27.83 for a T12 using magnetic ballasts*.
LEDs are generally more expensive than fluorescent lamps. However, as our comparison demonstrates, their excellent efficiency and extended life make them more cost-efficient than fluorescent lamps in certain applications.
