Smart LED Energy ROI Calculator

You're tired of walking across the room to dim the lights, and you're considering replacing 10 traditional LED bulbs with a set of WiFi-enabled smart bulbs. Each smart bulb costs $25, while the traditional ones only cost $8. Your electricity rate is $0.13 per kWh. Is the convenience worth the cost?

Just do this:

1️⃣ Set "Traditional LED Price" to $8 and "Smart LED Price" to $25.

2️⃣ Enter 10 for "Number of Bulbs".

3️⃣ Set "Hours Per Day" to 6 (the time your living room is typically occupied).

4️⃣ Look at the "Payback Period" result: You'll see how many years it will take for the energy usage to balance out the higher purchase price.

5️⃣ Check "Lifetime Savings": Even if the payback takes time, see the total profit you'll make over 15 years by having more efficient lighting!

Pro tip: Smart bulbs actually use *more* standby power than traditional LEDs. The ROI usually comes from automating them to be off when you're not in the room. If your smart bulbs help you reduce usage from 6 hours down to 4 hours per day, your ROI will happen significantly faster!
