Based on the average home energy rate we'll assume an energy tariff of 30c/kwh. To run a 50w halogen for 1 hour will consume 50/1000 = 0.05 kwh. At 30c/kwh this will cost 0.05 x 30 = $0.015 per hour. In comparison to run a 4.8w LED downlight for 1 hour will consume 4.8/1000 = 0.0048 kwh.

The average lifespan of CFLs is about 8,000 hours, compared to the 25,000-hour lifetime of LEDs. That comes out to about three CFL bulbs for every one LED purchase. CFL bulbs do not operate at the lower wattages generally associated with LEDs and consequently cost more money.

A BR LED light bulb is popular for both commercial and residential spaces. “BR” stands for bulged reflector; these bulbs tend to be larger and wider than your standard light bulb. These bulbs have wide-flood beam angles, meaning that they provide more than a 45 degree angle when lighting up a space.

Daylight bulbs measure between 5,000K and 6,000K, meaning they produce light that is perceived as bright white. Soft white bulbs measure between 2,700K and 3,000K, casting a warm, yellowish glow.
