Save $$$ on the Cost of Replacing Light Bulbs
Average Lifespan of Bulb in Months (m)
- Incandescent Bulbs – 1.7 m (Replace ~ 7 times a year)
- Fluorescent Bulbs – 11.1 m (Replace ~ once a year)
- LEDs – 34.7 m (Replace ~ every 3 years)
LEDs Last Longer, Requiring Fewer Service Calls
Estimates of bulb lifespans vary. But some research indicates that LED lights last 25,000 to 50,000 hours or more. In other words, the duration of an LED may be TWICE as long as shown in the graphic above. For a gas station with its lights on 24 hours a day, those hours translate to 2.8 to 5.6 years or longer.
By contrast, fluorescent lighting lasts 11 to 20 months, while traditional incandescent bulbs burn out in about 2 months.
In other words, LEDs can last 6 times longer than fluorescent bulbs and 50 times longer than incandescent bulbs.
What Long-Lasting LED Bulbs Mean for You
The conservative estimates in the graphic above demonstrate that LEDs:
- Require less hassle. You don’t have to repeatedly schedule service calls.
- Save you money. You don’t pay for frequent service calls.
- Ensure your customers know you’re open for business because the lights are on.
- Keep your brand image intact by avoiding darkened signs or unlit letters.
Add Innovative “Smart” Technology
Additionally, we can provide proactive maintenance for your LED bulbs using innovative “smart” technology to keep the lights on. This technology is especially invaluable for businesses that are open 24 hours a day or that always keep the lights on.
Switching to LED Lighting Reduces Energy Usage
Converting More Energy to Light Reduces Energy Costs, Saving You $$$
LED bulbs efficiently convert energy into light — not heat that is released into the atmosphere. In other words, you need less energy to get the bright lighting you want.

LEDs Convert Less Energy to Heat—Slashing the Cost of Your Electric Bills $$$
As illustrated above, LED lights convert more of the energy they consume into light than traditional incandescent and fluorescent lighting. For example, the U.S. Department of Energy reports that an incandescent bulb converts only 10% of the energy it consumes into light. In other words, the remaining 90% of the energy that you’re paying for is lost as heat.
Fluorescent bulbs offer only minimal energy savings. These bulbs convert about 20% of the energy into light. Thus, you lose 80% of your energy usage to heat. In both cases, you are paying for 100% of the energy usage.
Not only are your energy bills lower for LED lights, but the bulbs also produce less heat.
More Advantages of LED Lights
Adjustable Beam Angles
By adjusting the beam angles of LED lights, the lights can cover a large area, providing greater coverage and directing light where it is most needed. For example, this is helpful with parking lot pole lights and gas station canopies.
Cost-effectiveness
Although the initial bulb cost is more, energy-saving LED lights can quickly recoup the initial investment with reduced energy bills, fewer bulb replacements and repairs, and lighted signs that attract customers.
