The majority of the people knows that LED lighting saves energy when you compare it to other kinds of lighting. However, how much energy does LED lighting save? What would be the total cost savings? Take a look at the case below!*
| Lamp | Wattage | Number of lamps | Energy usage per year |
| CORAX (LED) | 9W | 100 | 9W * 100 / 1000 = 0.9 kwh * 16 * 300 = 4320 kwh |
| Fluorescent tube | 36W | 45 | 36W * 45 / 1000 = 1.620 kwh * 16 * 300 = 7776 kwh |
| PL lamp | 11W | 135 | 11W * 135 / 1000 = 1.485 kwh * 16 * 300 = 7128 kwh |
| Incandescent bulb | 40W | 300 | 40W * 300 / 1000 = 12 kwh * 16 * 300 = 57600 kwh |
Table 1: energy usage of the different kinds of lighting.
| Lamp | Costs per year | Energy cost difference per year |
| CORAX (LED) | 4320 * €0.10 = €432 | € 0 |
| Fluorescent tube | 7776 * €0.10 = €777.60 | + €345.60 |
| PL lamp | 7128 * €0.10= €712.80 | + €280.80 |
| Incandescent bulb | 57600 * €0.10= €5760 | + €5328 |
Table 2: Energy cost savings of CORAX LED lighting, compared to other kinds of lighting. sdf
As you can see, switching from other kinds of lighting to CORAX LED lighting would save a major amount of euros a year for this farm. Besides saving energy costs, switching to CORAX lighting has several other advantages that have an even bigger impact on company results:
