The following example shows, however, that a conversion to LED technology can pay for itself quite quickly. Dairy stable with 40 x 24 metres Installation height of the lights 6 metres Average lighting strength approx. 200 lux Average burning life of 6 hours per day Cost trend over 20 years Amortisation period 1.8 years Cost savings per year 2.224 € Type of luminaire Before: Halogen-metal vapour 250 W After: LED Indoor Spotlight 150 W Power consumption 272 watts (incl. ballast) 150 watts Power consumption 272 watts (incl. ballast) 150 watts Service life of the light source approx. 11,000 hours (= 5 years at a burning life of 6 h/day) approx. 100,000 hours (= 45 years at a burning life of 6 h/day) Required number of lights for 200 lux 20 pieces 15 pieces Total connected load in the stable 5440 watts 2250 watts Energy consumption per year (2190 h) ​11.913,60 kWh 4.928 kWh Investment costs for 15 LED lights ​ 3.975 € Energy costs per year (€0.30 /kWh) 3.574,08 € 1.478,40 € Costs for lamp replacement, annualised 128 € ​ Total costs per year 3.702,08 € 1.478,40 € Cost savings per year 2.224 € Amortisation period 1.8 years Total cost savings after 20 years 44.480 € Sample figure (red = HQI, green = LED) years
