Cost Analysis Neon VS LED Neon Flex Electricity Consumption
Based on Power Calculations for 300 feet of installation.
Usage for 12 Hours Per Day, 365 Days Per Year, at 10.6 cents per kWh (Avg. NS Residential Rate). 28% of green house gasses are produced by electricity consumption in Canada, upgrade now and take part in Canada's One-Tonne Challenge. Maintenance Consumption
Based on 300 feet of Building Lighting over a Ten Year Period of Time.
Life of Ballasts = 4 Years
Life of Neon Tubes = 5 Years
Life of Fiber Optic Bulb 10,000 hours = 2.3 Years
Life of LED 100,000 hours - 1/2 Life = 11 Years Calculate Energy Cost Per Year | Lighting Source | Watts Per Foot | kWh Per Year/300 Ft | Cost Per Yr 300 FT | | Neon 15MM Mercury/Argon | 8.75 | 11,498 | $1,218.79 | | Flex Neon & Border | 1.44 | 1,892 | $200.55 | Maintenance Cost over 10 Years Parts required for neon over 10 years:
