Dusk to Dawn lighting. Be smart.

This may be a smart choice.

If your coach lights or occupancy lights are turned on from dusk to dawn from a light sensor, your lights will burn approximately 4,000 hours a year.  One 60 watts incandescent light bulb for 4,000 hours will cost approximately $17 in energy.  If you replaced them with a CFL bulbs, the life expectancy more than doubles and your cost per year will go down to approximately $4.50.  Recently the LED light bulbs have become very popular for two good reasons. The life expectancy can be near 25,000 hour which means six years of service and the operating cost is very low.  A 60 Watt equivalent LED light bulb will cost only $2.50 in energy per year which means a $14.50 savings each year. A 60 Watt equivalent LED bulb in a dusk to dawn application pays for itself in less than a year. Go shopping. :o)
