LED there be Light

Energy efficient lighting systems will go a long way in bridging the energy deficit in the country.

The Future is LED The quest for energy efficiency will be central to the Indian government’s plan of surplus energy generation this year.  A major step in that direction will be substituting conventional lamps with energy efficient LED lights and connected lighting systems enabling smart cities of the future. Lighting alone contributes to 18-20 per cent of total energy consumption in the world. Therefore, Harshavardhan Chitale, Vice Chairman and Managing Director, Philips Lighting India says, “Energy efficient lighting systems will go a long way in bridging the energy deficit in the country. A transformation in that direction has already begun, with nearly 30 per cent of the lights sold today in the consumer segment being LED bulbs. The government is also extending LED in street and public infrastructure lighting, thus significantly reducing energy consumption. Even though the Indian government is taking several initiatives to electrify our villages, there will be still be some parts of the country where laying complete grids will remain a challenge as the cost of installation will be more than the power generated. In such areas renewable solutions such as solar lighting will prove to be an adequate solution.”
