Efficiency Benefits Up to 82% in Energy Savings!
According to Flex Your Power, documented studies have proven the energy savings potential of LEDs:

- Replacing a red incandescent traffic signal head with a red LED
unit cuts energy use by an estimated 82 to 93%. The use of LED traffic
signals in cities can save 1 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy and
nearly $70,000 a year for every 100 signaled intersections replaced.
The payback period is approximately two-and-a-half to three years
through energy savings alone.
- There are 100 million exit signs in the United States
containing incandescent lamps that consume a total of 20 billion kWh of
electricity per year. LED lighting could save approximately
three-quarters of this energy. By purchasing 1,000 exit signs for an
initial investment of $30,000, a state government could save a net
$455,562 over the products’ lifetime. The new signs would pay for
themselves in six months.
- LEDs can replace neon, offering an 80% electricity efficiency improvement.

The benefits of LED lighting technology go far beyond reducing
electricity consumption.
Even with a higher initial investment, dollar
savings and quality improvements significantly outweigh costs.
