LED vs Halogen Lamps: Which to Choose to Save Energy and Improve Lighting?

Lampade LED vs Alogene: quale scegliere per risparmiare energia e migliorare l’illuminazione?

When it comes to lighting, choosing the right bulb can make a difference in terms of energy efficiency, light quality, and durability. LED and halogen bulbs are among the most popular options, but what are the main differences?

LED vs Halogen: The Main Differences

1. Energy Efficiency

LED : consumes up to 80% less than halogen lamps, transforming most of the energy into light rather than heat.
Halogen : Disperses a large amount of energy as heat, making it less energy efficient.

2. Duration and Maintenance

LED : has an average lifespan of between 15,000 and 50,000 hours, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
Halogen : lasts on average between 1,000 and 5,000 hours, requiring more frequent replacement.

3. Quality of Light

LED : available in different colour temperatures (warm, neutral, cold) and with excellent colour rendering.
Halogen : offers a warm, natural light, but with less versatility than LEDs.

4. Environmental Impact

LED : more eco-friendly thanks to its long life and lower energy consumption.
Halogen : more impactful on the environment due to its short life and higher consumption.

The difference between the W of halogen and LED lamps

Halogen lamps require more watts to produce the same amount of light as an LED lamp. For example, a 50W halogen lamp emits a similar amount of light as an 8W LED lamp. This means that LED lamps use much less energy to produce the same brightness, which is measured in lumens.

Do you know what a lumen is? If you're not sure, read our article dedicated to lumens, lux and watts to better understand how to choose the right lighting for your spaces.

How much do you save by choosing LED lamps?

Let's consider a practical example:

50W halogen lamp , used for 3 hours per day → Annual consumption: 54 kWh
Equivalent 8W LED lamp , used for the same time → Annual consumption: 8.76 kWh
Annual savings for a single lamp: approximately 45 kWh
With an average energy cost of €0.30/kWh, annual savings can reach €13-15 per lamp .
If you replace several lamps in your home, the savings can exceed €200 per year .

LED vs Halogen: Which to Choose?

If you are looking for efficiency and durability → LED is the best choice, ensuring quality lighting with low consumption.

If you prefer a more natural light and you don't have consumption issues → Halogens can be an option, but less convenient in the long run.

Conclusion

LED lamps offer significant advantages in terms of energy efficiency, durability and environmental impact, making them the ideal choice for those who want to reduce consumption and improve room lighting. Halogen lamps, while offering quality light, are less efficient and more expensive over time.
