SOME "GREEN" NUMBERS TO SAVE YOU SOME "GREEN"

Be Seen with Green



“Focus On Energy” Rebate Offer for LED Retrofit Fixtures


We are excited to show you how in just a few minutes you can go green and start saving money and energy. And with the current Wisconsin “Focus on Energy” Rebate offers, going green has never been so easy.
It’s as simple as taking out your old incandescent light bulb, and replacing it with a LED Retrofit Fixture and start being seen with green. These LED lights are cutting edge technology, which will increase your energy profile in the eyes of your customers; providing them with a first-hand example of leading energy efficiency technology. These lights install directly into, your existing Edison-base sockets, and can be self- installed; eliminating all installation costs.

How simple is it to save money and energv by simply installing LED retrofit fixtures?





  •  Let’s assume you have 25, 75 watt incandescent lights that run for an average of 12 hours 
  •  That means those lights consume (25 x 75 x 12) 22,500 Watts every day.
  •  This leads to 675,000 Watts every month!
  • At $0.16 per kW, it costs you $108.00 every month on your electric bill.

  •  Now let’s assume you replace those incandescent lights with a 12 watt LED retrofit fixture.
  •  The LED lights consume (25 x 12 x 12) 3,600 Watts per day.
  • This leads to 108,000 watts per month.
  •  At $0.16 per kW, it only costs $17.28 per month

  •  That’s an energy savings of $90.72 each and every month by just taking a few minutes to install the new 12 Watt LED Retrofit fixture.

The savings are not over yet:


  • The average Life of an incandescent bulb is 750-1000 hrs.
  • Based on an estimated 12 hours per day of use, your average light bulb lasts 84 days.
  •  This means that each bulb needs to be replaced 4 times per year per fixture.
  •  That is 100 new light bulbs each and every year!
  •  At an average of $2.00 per bulb and add a labor cost of $2.00 per bulb installed, you will spend $400.00 per year just on new bulbs and installation.
  • This averages out to be a cost of $33.33 each month on old inefficient light bulbs.
  • The manufacturers stated lifespan of the LED down light retrofit fixture is 50,000 hrs.
  •  Based on your estimated 12 hours per day of use, your LED down light retrofit fixture will last 4167 days, or 11.4 years,
  • This fixture requires no maintenance, which means no additional cost every month.


Now let’s look at your savings every month:


  •  Your energy saving per month is $90.72.
  •  Your material and labor savings is $33.33 per month.
  •  This is a total savings per month of $124.05.
  •  This means in only 15.1 months, based on the total savings per month, the LED Retrofit Fixtures will have paid for themselves.
