Replacing a 50 watt halogen MR16 lamp with a 7 watt LED MR16 lamp saves $240.00 in energy over the life of the lamp. That’s per lamp. This can add up to some serious savings if you make this switch with all of your existing halogen MR16’s.
Making this switch will also save you the time and labor associated with 16 lamp changes. The rated average life of most halogen MR16 lamps is around 3,000 hours. The LED MR16’s have a rated average life of 50,000 hours. Thus, if you installed a brand new LED MR16 next to a brand new halogen MR16, you would change the halogen lamp 16 times and your LED fixture would still be using the same lamp!!!
The LED lamps throw off almost no heat and will be cool to the touch after hours of use. Whereas the halogens lamps begin producing heat immediately and are hot enough to burn after only a few moments. This heat reduction can lead to lower energy costs associated with air conditioning and reduce the risk of liabilities associated with lamp burns.
LED lamps produce almost zero levels of ultraviolet and infra-red radiation which means that they will not cause illuminated objects to fade over time.
Another advantage of the LED lamp is its environmental impact, using one LED lamp in place of 17 halogen lamps means 17 times less waste material. The LED lamp also contains no hazardous substances, even further reducing its environmental impact.
