100 numbers of fused 60-Watt incandescent light bulbs (ILB) are replaced by same numbers of 12 Watt CFL instead of new ILB. Calculate the following for 4000 hours of operation per year. • The annual reduction in electricity costs if R 4 per kWh is the energy charge and Rs. 250 per kVA per month is the demand charge. • The simple payback period if the ILB costs R 10 and the CFL costs R 100 (assume life of ILB and CFL as 1000 hours and 4000 hours respectively).

Energy Management Q5.2

[5] 100 numbers of fused 60-Watt incandescent light bulbs (ILB) are replaced by same
numbers of 12 Watt CFL instead of new ILB. Calculate the following for 4000 hours of
operation per year.
The annual reduction in electricity costs if R 4 per kWh is the energy charge and Rs.
250 per kVA per month is the demand charge.
• The simple payback period if the ILB costs R 10 and the CFL costs R 100 (assume life
of ILB and CFL as 1000 hours and 4000 hours respectively).
