New LED Security Lights Save Electricity Bills

A long awaited development has just arrived for security lighting. It’s the availability of LED lights which run on significantly less electricity than traditional bulbs. With the darker nights many home and business owners can now protect and improve their property without clocking up a large electricity bill.

Security lighting is a great deterrent to intruders. It’s also popular for convenience issues – such as helping light the way around your property when you put the bins out at night or arrive back late from work.

LED bulbs last longer (between 5 and 10 years compared to traditional bulbs which on average last less than a year).

Let’s take a look at savings in a typical example…

Traditional security lighting (based on a property with 6 lights) could total up running costs of £624 per year if you factor in electricity used, replacing the bulbs and the cost of bringing out an installer to undertake replacements.

LED lighting in the same property gives running costs of just £24 per year (electricity). With their longer lifespan, the bulbs don’t need to be replaced so frequently. When you factor in the cost of the new LED security lighting it is estimated that, given the savings made, the systems start paying for themselves in the first 2-3 years. The reliability of the LEDs bulbs are also proving very popular.
