How Much Does LED Lighting Cost?

LED lights are an increasingly attractive choice for homes and businesses, with more and more people making the switch. Interested in the costs of LED lights and how they might benefit you? We’ve put together some information to help you learn more and consider your options.

What Is The Cost Of LEDs?

If you’re purchasing LED lights, you can expect to pay between $5 and $20 for a standard bulb, and $50-$75 for downlights. According to the Australian Energy Foundation, these prices include upgrades to the bulb and the transformer.

Prices will depend on your circumstances, though, as there will be a difference if you’re simply replacing your bulbs or arranging more extensive work by replacing the fittings. Additionally, the higher the wattage, the more expensive the bulb will be.

How Do They Work?

LED lights are semiconductors. This means they emit light when a current passes through them. Over the years, their output has increased and they’ve become great solutions for both indoor and outdoor lighting.

Why Are LED Lights Right For Me?

LEDs are becoming more and more energy-efficient and producing less heat, meaning some LEDs are now up to 85% cheaper than regular bulbs.

Their best feature, however, is their longevity. LEDs carry an average lifespan of 35,000 hours, which is significantly greater than your regular bulb.

Some even last up to 50,000 hours – or over five years. Additionally, most bulbs come with a 3-to-5-year warranty, so you’ll know they’re a lasting investment.

What Type Of LED Lights Should I Choose?

There are many colour temperatures available. Some LED lights come in warming tones best suited for indoor use, while the brighter, cooler lighting of other LEDs works best over a kitchen benchtop or within an outdoor space. Your installer will work with you to identify your needs and the lighting that’s best for you.

Can I Install My Own LEDs?

We always recommend consulting a professional for your LED installation, as it requires more care than just replacing halogen with LED.
