According to calculations by Philips every year more than 425 million 60-watt incandescent light bulbs are sold worldwide and replacing them with a new LED bulb could save 32.6 terawatt-hours of electricity a year.

Enough to power the lights of 16.7 million U.S. households or 14.4% of the total number of households in the entire US. It would also eliminate 5.3 million metric tons of carbon emissions annually.
