LED vs Halogen Landscape Lighting TCO Calculator

Estimate 5-year total cost of ownership savings from upgrading a halogen landscape lighting system to LED luminaires. Based on Hyperlite facility management TCO methodology and commercial LED energy benchmarks.

Number of landscape lighting fixtures Total luminaire count in your system

Average halogen fixture wattage (W) Typical range: 35-90W per halogen path/flood light

Equivalent LED fixture wattage (W) Typical LED equivalent: 8-15W for same lumens

Operating hours per day Dusk-to-dawn typically 10-12 hours

Energy rate (USD per kWh) US commercial average: $0.10-0.15

Halogen bulb replacement cost (USD / bulb) Halogen lifespan ~2,000-4,000 hours
