| 391142 | 2005-09-26 23:39:00 | How much money$$ on power would I save if I swapped my two 60WATT lightbulbs in my room for two 10WATT engery saving lightbulbs if I use the lights in my room 6 hours a day,7 days a week? | lance4k (4644) | ||
| 391143 | 2005-09-26 23:44:00 | well your saving 50WATT every time you use them compared to the standard bulbs. therefore just multiply how long a period you want to calculate savings over and how much your paying for power. | tweak'e (69) | ||
| 391144 | 2005-09-27 01:13:00 | It depends on how much you pay per unit for your power but 75 cents a week shouldn’t be too far away. Not enough for a beer anyway. :groan: |

| 391145 | 2005-09-27 01:19:00 | You also need to factor in the life an ordinary incandescent bulb (1000 hours?) vs a fluorescent (about 10 times longer) for about the same price these days. look here (www.consumerenergycenter.org) |
