LED bulb: Light plays an important role in our daily lives, and choosing the right light bulb can make a significant impact on the consumption of our electricity bills. We all are worried about inflation. In this case, it is important to choose the right light bulb. LED bulbs are a popular and great lighting option that helps reduce electricity bills and energy consumption. LED bulbs consume 80-90% less electricity than traditional incandescent bulbs. Apart from this, the life of LED bulbs is also higher than that of conventional bulbs. But have you ever thought that if you burn an LED bulb for the whole day i.e. 24 hours, then how much does it affect your monthly bill? Let us know about this in detail in this article.
How much electricity does an LED bulb consume in a day?
The power consumption and impact on the electricity bill for using an LED bulb throughout the day in India depends on the wattage of the particular LED bulb and the unit cost of electricity in the area. As an example, let’s assume that the wattage of the LED bulb is 9 watts, and the cost of electricity in the area is Rs.8 per unit (kWh). Now to calculate the power consumption for the whole day, we have to convert the wattage into units of power consumed per day.
9 watts is equal to 0.009 kilowatts (kW). Therefore, if the LED bulb is used for a whole day, it will consume this much power:
0.009 kW x 24 hours = 0.216 kWh

To calculate the cost of using this LED bulb for a day, we need to multiply its power consumption by the unit cost of electricity.
0.216 kWh x 8/kWh = Rs 1.73
How much electricity bill will come in the whole month?
For example, it has been learned that using a 9 watt LED bulb for the whole day in India generates an electricity bill of about Rs.1.73. Now you can multiply it by 30 to get the month. According to this, 52 rupees sit. Overall, if you have a 9 watt LED bulb in your house and the cost of electricity in the area is Rs 8 per unit (kWh), then even if the bulb is lit for 24 hours, a bill of Rs 52 will come in a month.
It is worth noting that this is only an example, and the actual price may vary depending on the wattage of an LED bulb, price of the power unit, and usage patterns.
