Guest Blog: LED Lighting on your Property

You may have heard about LED lighting in the news recently. There are several cities around the country converting their street lights to be LED street lights. No more metal halide or high power sodium bulbs. As you would imagine these types of streetlights need to be quite powerful to light up the blacktop 25 feet below the pole. Sure enough they are bright!

So what about LED lights on your property in the common areas that you are paying the electricity on? Well such replacement bulbs exist and they make CFLs look bad.

There are two types of LED bulbs; high power and low power. You have most likely only seen low powered bulbs which hardware stores and Costco try and sell. The problem with low power bulbs is that they do not give off enough lumens, light. High powered bulbs do exist and are fantastic. Visit www.standard-led.com to view great options for your property.

Dave F. of Los Angeles, CA, purchased 177 LED bulbs for the common area of this 125 unit complex in Orange, TX.

He replaced 65 watt incandescent bulbs with 6 watt LED bulbs. This measured a savings of over 90% on his utility bill for the portion dedicated to lighting. This positive changed saved Dave F. $37.18 PER BULB per year starting in year 1. At an 8% CAP rate Dave F. raised the value of his property by $82,261! ($37.18 X 177 =6,580.86 ÷ .08 = $82,261)
