1.4.1 Comparison of

operating costs

OSRAM DULUX® EL consumes only about one fifth of the electricity of ordinary light

bulbs of comparable light output. These savings from low energy consumption is an

important aspect in cost/benefit analyses. In commercial applications, the price of the

lamps and their maintenance costs also play a role. A comparison between the opera-

ting costs of incandescent lamps and those of the OSRAM DULUX® EL range shows

that because of the lower electricity costs and longer life of OSRAM DULUX® EL lamps

there are considerable benefits despite the higher purchase price. What’s more, there

are savings in maintenance costs (labour costs for replacing lamps), which are much

higher for incandescent lamps because of their shorter life, and possible savings in air-

conditioning costs.
