The figure could be higher if incandescent bulbs and ordinary tube lights are replaced with LEDs, he said. These luminaires have the advantages of longer lifetime and being non-toxic because it is mercury-free.

Flawed or defective bulbs, conventional tube lights, CFLs and T5 tube lights in central and state government offices and PSU institutions will be replaced with energy efficient lighting systems such as LED lamps or tube lights.

It will be required for industrial, commercial and institutional sectors that have load of 30 kilowatt or above to replace conventional bulbs, tube lights, CFLs and T6 tube lights with LED lamps and other energy efficient lights at their own costs in one year.
