<p><strong>LED </strong><strong>Retrofit Analysis:</strong></p>
<p>Replacement of (2) fluorescent T8 light bulbs with (2) LED T8’s (fixtures remain in place, ballast is removed):</p>
<p><a title="LED Bulb Cost" href="http://bit.ly/e2vwru" target="_blank">LED Bulb Cost: $ 96.00</a> for (2) 48″ T8 Equivalent 120V, 15W, 300 LED, 150 lumen each)<br />
less ballast cost: -$ 30.00 (Assume Qty(1) per Fixture)<br />
less T8 bulb cost: -$ 8.00 for (2) bulbs</p>
<p>Cost differential for LED vs T8: $ 58.00 per fixture</p>
<p>Cost of LEDs over their 12 year lifespan (0 Replacements): $ 96.00<br />
Replacement cost of T8 over 12 years: $ 130.00 not including installation labor<br />
Assumptions: 3 ballast replacements and 5 T8 bulb replacements</p>
<p>Operating cost of 2 LEDs over 12 years: 30 watts x 40 hrs/wk x 52 wks x 12 yrs x $ 0.00011 = $ 82<br />
Operating cost of 2 T8’s over 12 years: 68 watts x (above constants) = $ 187</p>
<p>Annual operating cost savings using LEDs: ($ 187 – $ 82) / 12 = $ 8.75</p>
<p>Payback is achieved in 5.48 years on electrical savings alone. With an expected life of 12 years, these bulbs will pay for themselves twice!</p>
<p>Total costs (replacement plus operating) of each technology over 12 years (comparing one-to-one):</p>
<p>Fluorescent: $ 158                          LED: $ 89</p>
<p>This does not even take into account other incentives such as commercial real estate credits for LEED certification, utility rebates, etc.</p>
