Another £100 per year saved

26/03/08 | by Jeff [mail] | Categories: Lighting

Today we disabled 10 tube lights. Each one is 36 W, so we will save 360 W.
If these are on for 10 hours per day, Monday to Friday, then this is 936 kWh or about £100 per year - not a huge amount, but worth the 2 minutes it took to do.
