Ensuring a properly lit indoor or outdoor used to require significant energy consumption. This may still be the case for very old installations but retrofits or modern systems are rarely high consumers.

The higher the area that has to be light and the more intense light is, the higher the electricity demand and energy consumption will get.

The higher the area that has to be light and the more intense light is, the higher the electricity demand and energy consumption will get. Of course, the more lamps installed and used in a place, as commonly is, the higher the total monthly consumption.
