The best LED landscape lights I found are Aquascape and DG LIGHTS. You will save even more money and work because you won’t have to purchase and replace MR-16 light bulbs frequently because LEDs last for 25,000 hours.Ĭalculate how much electricity and money you will save with this electricity cost calculator. My landscape lights have been on every night for a year now and I have not noticed any difference on my electric bill. With 53 LED lights totaling 90 W (see below) turning on automatically at sundown and off at midnight 365 days per year, at the price I pay for electricity which is approximately $0.23 per KW, my usage costs approximately $45.33 per year or $3.77 per month. You’ll be able to light up both the front of your house and backyard for only $1 to $6 per month. The amount of money you will save in electricity will give you a breakeven probably within one year, depending upon the costs of electricity where you live. LED landscape lights at the front of my house are all 3W 12V LED bullet lights by Aquascape (Front door has an overhead 18W SYLVANIA Ultra LED) I have been using these lights at my house since last year and love them. MR-16 bulbs made my Colorado Blue Spruce look dingy but the LED highlights the blue int the Blue Spruce and make evergreens look green. The color really shows up your landscaping, plants, and especially evergreens. The color is an extremely pleasant white light and is not harsh.
These LED lights are high-quality and are available in 1W, 3W & 6W ! Make no mistake, even the 1W light is extremely bright. As you will see below, LED landscape lighting is actually less expensive to install. If you’re doing a new installation, LED landscape lighting should be the only choice.
