Under UJALA scheme, the main objective is to promote efficient lighting, enhance awareness on using efficient equipment which reduces electricity bills and helps preserve the environment. Efficient light bulbs, like LEDs, consume only one-tenth of the energy used by ordinary bulbs to provide the same or better light output. So, we ask you to suggest ways for promoting the use of LEDs on this open discussion forum.

E-sites like AMAZON, FLIPKART and SNAPDEAL are already selling LED Bulbs at lesser cost ranging from 150 to 200 for a 9W and 12W LED bulbs, If Govt can rope in PDS shops, LPG Gas agencies and Petrol Pump stations then the distribution of these LED bulbs at very affordable costs can reach most of the population. Some of Post Offices can also be roped in to sell these LED bulbs which van resolve electricity crisis, in addition we need energy audit teams to visit hotels and offices to save power.

To overcome barriers to LED deployment, the government of India augments a popular consumer rebate program, known as the “Eco-Point” program, to promote the use of LED lighting. The Eco-Point program to encourage consumers to buy energy-efficient air conditioners, refrigerators and digital televisions. The original goals of the program were to promote actions to address global warming, stimulate the economy, and popularize digital television broadcasting across India.

Dear sir, I Mudireddy Ramachandraiah,Rtd chief engineer in irrigation dept,govt of telangana state,do hereby suggests that the people will purchase the LED bulbs if the cost is more or less the same with existing bulbs or ban the production of ordinary bulbs so that people use the led bulbs as an alternative lighting source. Govt has to give certain time to manufacturer to convert them in to led system . Regards Ramachandraiah Hyderabad

1. More variety in terms of wattage and shapes should be brought in the market to cater to various needs 2. Use PDS, Post offices, Banks, Local Bodies on attractive commission basis to promote and distribute the LEDs 3. Use finance schemes for purchase of LEDs (and billing the EMIs along with electricity Bills) 4. For commercial / industrial establishments give them loans for LED installation at concessional rates or other benefits in taxes based on LED installation certificates
