Total Watts =             3169.48W

 

62% reduction in total energy consumption in room

 

80% reduction in energy consumption vs. original bulbs only

 

 

8339.55W – 3169.48W = 5.17kW saved

Electricity cost = $0.0305/kWh

5.17kW x $0.0305/kWh = $0.1577/h saved

$625.51 / $0.1577/h = 3966 hrs to payback
