The following images are of the latest show home built by Jennian Homes Nelson Bays. Switch Lighting is proud to have been involved in fitting this home with an LED lighting solution. All lights except for the two pendant fittings in the dining and family room are LED.

In total there are 91 LED fittings, which when all turned on equates to 470 Watts of energy. That is less than 5x 100W light bulbs. So for less energy than 5x 100W light bulbs, we have lit shelving, rooms, artwork, walkways and all the exterior.

• Number of light fittings: 91
• Total power consumption: 470W
• Average watts per fitting: 5.1W
• Square metre of build: 245m2 (power density of 1.9w/m2)
• Cost to have every light on for 8hrs/day 365days year:
• 0.470kw x 8hr x 365d x 24c/kwhr = $330 for the year

To light this home in a comparative way with traditional lights, it would be around 4250W. That’s nearly 10 times an LED fit-out, therefore the power bill would be 10x as much; as much as $3000 for the year.
