Consumers are willing to pay slightly more for energy saving products such as energy-saving lightbulbs because they get a quick payback from the energy savings. For businesses, the overall cost of light, not the cost of the bulb, is what counts:

• bulbs can represent as little as 4 percent of the overall life-cycle cost;
• maintenance and labor costs such as installation represent as little as 8 percent of the overall life-cycle cost
• energy costs over the life of a bulb can represent as much as 88 percent of the overall cost of light.

The financial benefits to the customer and companies who produce energy-saving products drive the development of energy efficient products. Companies include lightbulb manufacturers, as well as alternative energy products such as innovative windows that also serve as solar collectors -- being developed by XSUNX Inc.
