**1.2 International and National Directives**

European Commission issued the Regulations EC No. 245/2009 for tertiary lighting products on 18 March 2009. On the basis of these Regulations, about 1 billion lighting products have to be replaced by LED type by the year 2015 only in the area of the EU, which translates to 100 million street lamps for street lighting and industry. The remaining 900 million refer to neon lamps.

Similarly, the Energy Information and Security Act of 2007 began the process of restricting the sale of inefficient lamps in the US. By 2012, with a few exceptions, the result of the legislation will be that inefficient incandescent lamps cannot be sold [1].

Comprehensive techno-economic analyses that considered the Company and National economic benefits that can be achieved from the high service life of the LED light fittings (up to 100,000 Hours) and its low power consumption compared with HPS was carried out. However, this analysis is limited only for 400 W HPS

For the above survey, it can be found that several efforts carried out economic analysis of replacement different light fittings with LED. But, none of these works has considered the economics for replacement the HID lamps by LED lamps in industrial plants. Moreover, none of these researches have presented any type of economic index to support such type of lighting projects, except [10], which limited the research the replacement of only HPS type used in access road of a gas produc-

Based on the above survey, the first goal of this chapter is to discuss the economic benefits of replacing outdoor different type of HID lights with different rating installed in an oil and gas plant, as typical "Case-Study" for industrial plant, with suitable equivalent number of LED lighting fittings, to provide even better lighting effect level, without changing the lighting poles. The second goal is to determine the global saving norm based on two main aspects. "Company Benefits", in which the Company can gain it directly, and "National Benefits" that can be achieved by creating better gas sales opportunity for the county and by the reduc-

**2.2 Case-study: techno-economic model analysis for replacement of HID lamps**

In this section, firstly, comprehensive economic study is introduced to replace 241 pieces of 150 W Metal Halide, 103 pieces of 400 W HPS lighting, 20 pieces of 1000 W MH lighting and 162 pieces of 70 W Bollard lighting by equivalent number of LED lighting fittings. Next, economic discussion is to carried out to provide four important economic indicators. Finally, summary, conclusion and recommendation are given.

The methodology in this economic study is carried out to estimate the financial benefits of replacement of outdoor HID (High intensity discharge) lights in an oil and gas plant by the equivalent LED (Light Emitting Diodes) lighting fixture. The
