LED lights are 10 times more energy efficient than standard incandescent light bulbs, and 3 times more efficient than compact fluorescent bulbs (CFL’s). They produce clear, high-contrast light offering excellent visibility, and they last 50,000 hours before needing replacement – that’s over ten years if left on for 12 hours per day.
Government Grants of 30% Available Through Pretasol for Businesses to Change to Low-Energy Lighting
LED LIGHTING AT HERITAGE RESORTS
As one of only a handful of government accredited companies in Andalucia Pretasol can offer a 30% government grant for businesses that change to low-energy lighting.
Heritage Resorts changed their lighting from their existing 50W halogen lights to 3W dimmable LED MR16, achieving an energy saving of over 90%. This equates to an overall saving of around 50% off their electricity bill and a return on investment in less then twelve months.
Nicholas Pratt, Resort Services Manager at Heritage Resorts had this to say about Pretasol “The service provided has been second-to-none with a great deal of after-sales service included which, in this neighborhood, is definitely a welcome change.” LED lighting.

LED lights are up to 10 times more energy efficient than standard incandescent light bulbs, and up to 3 times more efficient than compact fluorescent bulbs (CFL’s). They produce clear, high-contrast light offering excellent visibility, and they last 50,000 hours before needing replacement – that’s over ten years if left on for 12 hours per day.
Think of the savings this efficiency will generate. Imagine you have a security light on your house, or garage wall with a 100-watt incandescent light bulb. Let’s imagine a worst case scenario were it is left on all day, every day for the whole year. Then suppose you replace that bulb with an energy-efficient LED light bulb. How much is that going to save you?
A 100 watt incandescent light bulb left on 24 hours a day, 365 days a year will operate for 8,760 hours each year. If you multiply the wattage of the bulb by the number of hours it operates you can see that the bulb consumes 876,000 watt hours of electricity. One thousand watt hours is a kilowatt hour and is the unit of measurement that most utility (power) companies use to charge you for electricity. So in this case, the bulb uses 876kilowatt hours (kwh) per year.
876 kilowatt hours (kwh) per year
The LED light bulb you install uses 10% of the electricity of the incandescent bulb. By changing the bulb, your electricity use falls from 876 to 88 kwh per year. If you pay 12 cents per kwh (quite close to the world average) your annual bill for this single bulb will drop from €105.60 to €10.56, a saving of €95.04 per year.
Save €95.04 per year
An LED E27 to replace a 100W incandescent bulb costs only €29. So you would begin to make savings within 4 months and the LED bulb will last for 50,000 hours.
Let’s remind ourselves of the key benefits:
- 50,000 Hours
- 10W LED instead of 100W Incandescent
- 1 LED bulb lasts 50 times longer
Think about that fifty number because it ends up eating up not only your money, but your time as well. Fifty less trips to the shops, fifty less times you have to climb up a ladder, fifty less times you have to throw something away.
50 times longer life (50,000 hours is 5.7 years on 24 hours per day)
LED lights will pay for themselves in energy saving alone within 4 months then continue to save energy for a further 5 years.
