Since the invention of the light bulb, many technologies have been perfected or invented in order to produce electric light. Currently, seeking sustainability, new sources of light have been developed within a scale that takes into account energy expenses, useful life, sustainability and cost-benefit. Therefore, LED (Light Emitting Diode) lamps have been dominating the market for their cost-effective ratio. In this context, this article aims to make an analysis of the current market situation and show the turnaround time of the replacement of LED lamps in a residence in the rural area of the city of Campo Grande MS, since the rural area is still the place where incandescent lamps can be installed. The results obtained, as expected, showed an excellent cost-benefit ratio for the replacement, which concludes the feasibility of such a substitution. Finally, a study based on the literature review of the work shows that in addition to having an economically viable return, such lamps are beneficial to the environment, and can be almost completely recycled.
