We are the poorest to recognize creative instinct. Otherwise, modern India could have been a different place in the world. For there is no value/institutional recognition for it at present

Good lighting is a necessity for you and me alike. carry one

Why not enforce in Government offices first...let CPWD, MES, MCD, etc. make it mandatory for their offices

In cities like Mumbai and suburbs, the corporation and the Electricity company can insist the housing societies to have the entire common area to be fitted with LED's. This can be enforced by a resolution and also followed up by and inspection and incentive schemes.

While buying non-branded led lights, please ensure that you buy the brightest lights for the same wattage, by paying a few rupees more.The rates in my last post are retail, not wholesale. Residents of small towns can buy them thru online outlets for slightly more from comfort of their homes. Be sure to compare online costs from different vendors though.

is a myth that LED lights are expensive. Yes,corporates are exploiting brand value to charge astronomical prices. If you buy led bulbs at, say,Bhagirath place,Delhi, Burra bazaar, Kolkata and so on, you should get them from 35/- rs per bulb of 3 watts (suitable for bath,store,verandah,pooja rooms. Bulbs of 9-12 watts cost less than Rs 100/- Nothing fancy, but I have been using them for 2 years without any problems.

The LED bulbs if considered as Gift item for social occasion may be a good beginning for energy conservation.

In Assam Distribution company has allowed LED manufacturer to establish kiosk of LED in customer care center which indeed a good beginning

Using LED and solar cell is good way to reduce power consumption. It is also having negative effect which require to use natural resources making as well as not cost effective. Huge amount of energy bill can be saved if we can light our major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Calcutta, Chennai evening 6-9 naturally. We have our Geostationary satellites always above India providing radio, TV and internet broadcasting. With help of proper size mirror solar light can be reflected on those major cities.

Use of LED lights should be made compulsary for commercial and industrial establishments.
