Please Note
- Cost of electricity will vary. The figures used above are for comparison only, and are not exact. Residential energy costs among the various states in Australia averages to 35 cents per kWh, 28 cents for Victoria per KWh.
- The cost per bulb for LEDs may vary. We used the figure of $7.00 (for a 60 watt equivalent LED bulb) as an average among lighting retailers.
Estimates of bulb lifespan are projected, since it would take about 6 years of continuous lighting to test. Some manufacturers claim the new LED bulbs will last up to 25 years under normal household use, but this is not proven. - Bulb breakage and bulb replacement costs have not been factored into this comparison chart. Incandescent bulbs and CFL bulbs are more easily broken than LEDs, which increases their cost of use.
- Most LEDs come with a minimum 3-year replacement warranty. Any defective LED bulb will usually fail within this time.

The Australian government is committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and are providing access to discounted energy-efficient products and services to business and residents across Australia. One of the easiest ways you can make a difference to Australia’s carbon footprint is by looking at how you use energy in your home or business. Upgrading your inefficient appliances to more sustainable options can collectively impact the reduction of greenhouse gas, and that’s good news for us all.
