BSES Rajdhani Power Limited (BRPL) on 19 September 2011 entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with America’s largest manufacturer of Light Emitting Diodes (LED)’s, Lighting Science Group (LSG). The far reaching MoU, a first of its kind in India will ensure that the two collaborate and explore avenues to demonstrate and promote energy efficiency using the next gen LED lighting. This association is expected to enable BRPL and LSG to explore opportunities to demonstrate the benefits of LED lighting.
The scope of the association is to involve conducting field trials of various LED based lighting options, including street lights at select locations and making LED products available at competitive prices for BRPL customers.
The next generation LED bulbs fit perfectly into existing screw-in light sockets and create clean, bright light level, equivalent to that of a conventional incandescent bulb. When compared to a CFL, LED bulbs use significantly less electricity and contain no mercury. They also have a significantly longer life span than both CFL’s and Incandescent Bulbs. The average life span of a LED Bulb is around 50000 hours verses 8000 hours for a CFL and 1000 hours for an incandescent bulb.
LED is an ideal long-term sustainable product, which is perfectly suited for extreme hot and humid climate. commercial and industrial establishments are switching to LED’s owing to its benefits. It is also a recommended lighting product for lighting using solar energy. LED lights are ideal if the per day usage is more than 8 hrs. Use of LED bulbs helps in conserving precious electricity as well as leads to huge savings in a household’s electricity bill.
