Compact fluorescent bulbs are much more efficient at producing light than are ordinary incandescent bulbs. They initially cost much more, but last far longer and use much less electricity. According to one study of these bulbs, a compact bulb that produces as much light as a 100 W incandescent bulb uses only 23.0 W of power. The compact bulb lasts 1.00×104 hours, on the average, and costs $ 12.0 , whereas the incandescent bulb costs only 75.0 ¢, but lasts...

A new 13 W CFL costs $4.73 and a new 80 W incandescent bulb costs $0.49. If one of your existing incandescent bulbs needs to be replaced, what is the Simple Payback Period in days of purchasing a CFL instead of an incandescent bulb? Assume the lights operate for 947 hours per year, there are 365 days in the year, and the cost of electricity is $0.30 kWh. Provide your answer rounded up to the nearest whole day. Answer:

4. a) A building owner is thinking about replacing old-style incandescent light bulbs with more energy-efficient light-emitting diode (LED) lighting. Estimate the payback period (in years) for replacing a 100 W incandescent light bulb with an LED light that provides the same light output, but consumes only 18 W. Given data .price of electricity- $0.13/kWh assume the light is turned on for 5 hours per day, every day price of incandescent bulb = $1.20 .price of LED S19.10 annual interest...

A 60W incandescent light bulb costs $0.25 and lasts 1 year. A compact fluorescent light (CFL) capable of producing the same amount of light costs $2, consumes 13W, and lasts 8 years. Assume electricity costs $0.10/kWh, the bulbs are operated for 5 hrs/day, and all money spent is taken out of a saving account earning 2% interest. (a) What is the net present cost associated with the incandescent bulb? The CFL? (b) The carbon emissions rate for Duke-Progress Energy is...

According to the US Census, there are about 117,000,000 households in the US. If every household replaced 1 60W incandescent bulb that is used for 35 hours per week with a 10W LED bulb, how many kWh of electricity would this save the country per year? Based on your electric rate and your answer above, how much money would this save the country per year?

Light-emitting diode (LED) light bulbs have become required in recent years, but do they make financial sense? Suppose a typical 60-watt incadescent light bulb costs $.45 and lasts for 1,000 hours. A 7-watt LED, which provides the same light, costs $2.25 and lasts for 40,000 hours. A kilowatt-hour of electricity costs $.121, which is about the national average. A kilowatt-hour is 1,000 watts for 1 hour. Suppose you have a residence with a lot of incandescent bulbs that are used...

A business wants to reduce its energy use. One option is to replace ten existing 50 watt fluorescent lights with ten new, 8 watt LED lights that provide the same amount and quality of lighting. The lights are used 12 hours per day, 250 days per year. The cost of electricity is $0.2/kWh. Each LED light costs $1 Assume the new lights last 10 years and that the time frame of the analysis is 10 years. Assume that the electricity...
