How Much Can You Save in a Month by Using Energy-Saving Light Bulbs?

Have you ever looked at your electricity bill and wondered where all that power goes?

Believe it or not, lighting can take up to 15–25% of your monthly energy bill — especially if your home still uses old incandescent bulbs.

Switching to energy-saving LED bulbs can cut that cost dramatically. Let’s break it down.

1. Traditional Bulbs vs LED Bulbs

Type of Bulb	Power (Watts)	Average Life (Hours)	Energy Used per Month (5 hrs/day)	Cost per Month (TZS @400/unit)
Incandescent Bulb	60W	1,000	9 kWh	3,600 TZS
LED Bulb	10W	25,000	1.5 kWh	600 TZS

So for one bulb, you save about 3,000 TZS per month — and the LED lasts about 25 times longer!

2. Multiply the Savings

Now imagine you have 10 bulbs around your house.

Old bulbs = 3,600 x 10 = 36,000 TZS/month

LED bulbs = 600 x 10 = 6,000 TZS/month

Total Savings = 30,000 TZS per month

That’s 360,000 TZS saved per year — just by switching your bulbs!

3. More Than Just Money

When you use energy-saving bulbs:

You reduce electricity demand, which helps minimize power cuts.

You lower your carbon footprint, protecting Tanzania’s environment.

You avoid frequent replacements, saving time and hassle.
