Transcript: While the incandescent bulbs remain the cheapest, CFL lights come in next ranging at about 10$ a box. LED's are the most expensive, prices going up to 36$. What we Use CFL and LED After asking around, we discovered that Chef Cole and the others who do any sort of purchasing, aren't really concerned when it comes to lights. The cheapest is the best. Cheap incandescent lights for the hood vents, the specific projector bulbs, and whatever we can lay our hands on for everything else. CFL lights are probably the most recognizable bulbs, with the twisted bulb. Typically, they can last between 6,000- 15,000 hours. 10,000 is the average. That boils down to 5,976 days, or a little more than 16 years In our Bradford School, we use regular incandescent light bulbs. Joe and I have been researching various lights that might result in the conservation of energy, as well as money for our school. LED lights are more complicated and scientific but they are even more efficient than CFL lights. The maximum life span of an LED light is 50,000 hours, or 11 years if 12 hours a day Regular incandescent lights last a short amount of time and need replacement often. On average, 750-1000 hours, which in comparison, is a very short lifespan, just over 40 days at most. Price Joe Canzano And Jennifer Oswald Light Bulbs!! Regular incandescent bulbs typically use about 60 watts, which would make the kilowatt/hour per year significantly higher than these low watt bulbs How long do those last? Should We swtich? CFL: lights use a little less, ranging at about 6-8 watts, and resulting in about 630 kilowatt/hours per year. Other Options Obviously, incandescent lights are not the only option out there. In terms of energy saving, there are two other extremely popular options. CFL- Compact Fluorescent Lamp, and LED- Light Emitting Diode. Energy Usage LED lights use about 13-15 watts, in turn using roughly 760 Kilowatt/hours per year. Heck yea we should! To start with, the LED and CFL lights would be more expensive, but because you wouldn’t have to buy them nearly as often, the end result is much cheaper than regular fluorescent light bulbs. Also, the lower wattage would result in a much cheaper electric bill. Intro
