LED for Display Case Incremental Cost 6 LED for Display Case No change to proposed first year incremental cost = $22/ foot Total Cost over EUL of measure is $12 – PV Cost of current practice installation over EUL of measure = $ 10 – Cost changed when RUL of Linear Fluorescent was increased to 5 years – Previous cost over EUL was $7
