Lighting Cost Calculator

Would you like to save money on your operating costs? Specialised Lamp Supplies are committed to providing ongoing cost savings without compromising on quality or performance for all our customers.  As a true distributor, it is the job of SLS to recommend and provide the best product for the application irrespective of brand.  SLS focuses not only on capital cost, but on the ongoing cost of light.  Energy consumption, lamp life and maintenance can be up to 90% of the total cost of lighting.

Lets look at the following example of how some simple modifications to the way in which your lighting is structured can save you money.  Assume a business now spends $10,000 per year on lighting.

 

The cost would break down as follows:

Category	Cost
Replacement lamps	$400
Labour	$800
Electricity	$8800
TOTAL	$10000

 

Opting for a cheaper replacement lamp will result in marginal cost reduction of $40 (or 0.4%).

Category	Cost
Replacement lamps	$360
Labour	$800
Electricity	$8800
TOTAL	$9960

 

Alternatively, if we install an energy saving lamps, although the cost of lamps increases by nearly 50%, the net savings made is quite substantial.  A reduction of $1,120 (or 11.2%) in the cost of lighting.

Category	Cost
Replacement lamps	$600
Labour	$800
Electricity	$7480
TOTAL	$8880

 

 
When you multiply the numbers to reflect the relative size of your business, this simple example could mean thousands of dollars in savings for you.
