The problem with most light bulbs besides LED is that there are results in high costing electric bills, maintenance issues, and environmental issues. David Hernandez from Florida power and light said they are currently using 400 watts to 1,00o watts per street light. If they were to switch over to LED, they would be using 200 watts per street light. Hernandez also states that there are approximately 600,000 street lights and change out 7% every year, which are approximately 40,000 street lights a year. A LED street light lasts close to 15 years.

Lighting Industry/Market PotentialLighting Industry/Market Potential Lighting industry is dominated by several

international name brands: GE, Sylvania(Osram), Philips who are focused on Fluorescent & Incandescent lighting.◦ Market potential: Per Israel Morejon, President of

LedNovation/Tampa: the U.S. Market buys over 5.7 million lights per day, 365 days per year = 2,080,500,000 lights/yr

◦ OCT. 2010; GE closed last U.S. light MFG plant & moved to China due to cost. Sylvania & Philips have all plants in China to lower costs to help prevent LED lighting from establishing foothold.

◦ LED light growth in Japan now exceeds 50% of domestic market with expected growth to exceed 17.5%/yr. due to lower operating costs and longer useful life.

◦ A change to LED lighting helped Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas lower their electricity costs from $36 million/yr. to $4 million/yr. A reduction of 80%, not including the savings from maintenance reductions.
