Cutting the cost of PAR lamp floodlights

Some floodlighting uses halogen PAR lamps. These can be replaced by CFL floodlights or LED floodlights.^[1]

Installing CFL or LED floodlights brings about cost savings due to their longevity and the efficient way they use energy.

The halogen PAR lamps only have a lifetime of up to 2,500 hours whereas:

• CFL floodlights last for up to 8,000–10,000 hours^[2]
• LED floodlights last for up to 30,000–50,000 hours.

The energy costs of halogen PAR lamps can also be significantly reduced by switching to these alternatives:

• CFL floodlights can reduce energy running costs by up to 75%.
• LED floodlights can reduce energy running costs by up to 85%.
