LED Upgrades = Lower Bills (Quick Win)

If your power bill feels like it’s climbing every quarter, lighting is one of the fastest wins you can make — and one of the easiest to fix.

At Sublime Electrical Co, LED upgrades are one of the most common efficiency improvements we install, and the savings speak for themselves.

Halogen vs LED Difference

Old halogen or incandescent lighting can cost up to 5–10 times more to run than LEDs.

For example:

• Old halogen downlights: Higher wattage, more heat, more energy use

• LED upgrades: Lower wattage, same brightness, far less power draw

In most homes, switching to LED lighting can cut lighting energy use by 50–80%, which shows up directly on your electricity bill over time.

This is the real cost difference*

BEFORE – Halogen Lighting / AFTER – LED Upgrade

• Wattage: ~50W per light / Wattage: ~7–10W per light

• Total load: ~1,000W (1kW) / Total load: ~150–200W

• Daily use: ~4 hours / Same usage (4 hours/day)

Electricity cost (approx.):

• ~$1.80–$2.20 per day / ~$0.30–$0.50 per day

• ~$650–$800 per year /~$100–$180 per year

Halogen lights waste a lot of energy as heat, which is why running costs add up fast.
LEDs use around 75–80% less electricity than halogens.

So BASICALLY…

LEDs don’t waste energy as heat like older bulbs do.
That means:

• Less power used per light

• Less strain on circuits

• Longer lifespan, approx. 10-20x longer lasting

It’s a simple swap that quietly pays itself off month after month.

If your home still runs older lighting, upgrading is one of the quickest ways to reduce ongoing costs without changing how you live. Contact Sublime Electrical Co today for a fast, no-obligation LED upgrade quote and start saving on your power bill sooner.
