  • Commercial grade LED bulbs can last between 70,000-140,000 hours.
  • That’s 70-140 times more than incandescent bulbs.
  • Switching your exterior home lights over to outdoor LED lighting will save you money on your electrical bill as well as your maintenance costs.
  • Furthermore, as technology improves, the cost of LEDs will continue to drop.

The cost of running Gemstone Lights Track Lighting System will vary depending on the following factors:

  • The size of your home/building and number of lights on your system.
  • The amount of time you run your lights per day.
  • The kilowatt hour rate in your area.

The average size home (with 117 linear feet of roofline) will require 150 Gemstone Lights.

At maximum capacity Gemstone LED lights pull 1 watt/bulb.

Therefore, if you were to run the track lighting system for an average of 6 hours per day, it would cost:

$4.34 per month, or $52.80 per year.
