Energy Star

LED Traffic Light

One apartment, 10 light bulbs, 60 watt = 600 watts

One hundred fifty apartments = 90,000 watts

Energy Star Light Bulbs

One apartment, 10 light bulbs, 13 watt = 130 watts

One hundred fifty apartments = 19,500 watts

Savings of 70,500 watts

We encourage you to change out the light fixtures or bulbs at home that you use most with ENERGY STAR qualified models. If every American home changed out just five high-use light fixtures or the bulbs in them with ones that have earned the ENERGY STAR, each family would save about $60 every year in energy costs, and together we’d save about $6.5 billion each year in energy costs and prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions from more than 8 million cars.
