Are LED bulbs so expensive?


"Try traditional bulbs, if you think LEDs are expensive."


One of the aspects of LED lighting is that the initial cost is always higher than for conventional bulbs. This is only true if you compare pure acquisition costs. In recent years, LED technology has improved and prices will continue to fall. LEDs are not expensive. Always keep in mind that their price is depreciated after 2000 hours of use on average. That is, if they are in use more than eight hours a day, switching to LED is worth it in less than 3 years. For example, the energy saved with LED tubes compared to conventional is around 80%. This is due to the more efficient use of energy. An incandescent bulb only transforms 5% of the energy used in the light, while for LED products, this value is already greater than 40%.


The first available bulb was sold commercially around 1 €. Adjusted for inflation, this price would be 20 € nowadays. In fact, what we are actually paying for LEDs is probably even cheaper than what people were paying for an incandescent bulb in the past! And, what we get for our money is an LED lamp that lasts 25 times longer with better energy consumption. In addition, it even includes most of the time, a considerable warranty period.
