We have not estimated the number of buildings domestic or commercial that use LED lighting. We estimate that sales of LED lighting in 2013 had increased to 2.5% of the total sales of lighting. From a recent report that DECC published in the summer of 2014 consumers using these more efficient light bulbs, compared to incandescent, can save over £300 by 2030:
