Financial Benefits of LED Landscape Lighting

Halogen and LED landscape lighting products are available in varying levels of quality, so its difficult to make generalized comparisons about performance. However, assuming we are comparing a higher-end halogen and LED fixture, an LED will typically last up to 25 times longer. An high-output LED spot light may use up to 13W of power while a comparable halogen model would use about 20Ws. This means that the LED model is about 40% more efficient.

Over a period of 5 years, and assuming daily use of about 10 hours per day, the cost savings would be more than $100. Considering that the LED will only be through about 1/3 of its useful life at the end of the five year period this is significant. The extended life of the LED lamp will also greatly reduce labor and lamp replacement costs.
