power consumption
In today's world, where everyone is confronted with rising energy prices on a daily basis, the question is increasingly being asked how to replace outdated and cost-intensive energy guzzlers with new and cost-saving alternatives .
What is an LED neon sign and what components does this type of lighting have?
For our LED illuminated signs, numerous small LEDs (light-emitting diodes) are formed into a tube shape and then installed on acrylic glass in the desired shape and color. This process is done by hand and requires a great deal of skill and experience.
What other advantages does this LED technology bring?
- Free from any toxins
- 100% handmade
- Low energy consumption, 100,000+ hours lifespan, no heat or noise (no humming!)
- Shatter-proof , as 100% glass “free” modules
How much power do our LED neons consume?
An LED illuminated sign has a 12 volt (voltage) and offers a capacity of 12 watts (power) per 1 m (meter) of LED light strip.
To calculate the exact wattage, the following information is important:
- Number of meters of LED light strip used for the neon motif (variable information, as each neon lettering/text has a different length!). If you would like to know the exact meters that your individual No motif requires, please contact us using our contact form .
- Number of hours that the LED sign lights up when switched on (active usage time).
Formula for calculating electricity costs: Power (watts) x time (hours) = energy consumption in watt hours (Wh), this divided by 1000 = consumption in kilowatt hours (kWh). 1 kilowatt hour currently costs €0.37 (as of April 2022 in Germany).
Cost comparison: LED Neon vs. regular light bulb:
Conventional light bulb: 20-40 watts (power)
LED neon sign: 12 watts (power) per meter of light strip
We can clearly see here that our energy consumption is significantly lower than that of a conventional light bulb and that we are therefore also protecting the environment.
Conclusion:
In our opinion, the clear winner when compared to a conventional light bulb is the LED illuminated sign. It saves you money, electricity, hassle and protects the environment. It lights up day and night and poses no safety risk.
