Switching to LED bulbs could save you more than Rs.4,000 a year
Shifting to LED bulbs could save an average family around Rs. The company’s National Energy Efficient Fan Programme inaugurated on Thursday, is expected to help reduce household electricity bills and the country’s overall carbon dioxide emissions. “Taking an average of five bulb points per household and an assumption that five incandescent bulbs are replaced with LEDs, a household stands to have energy savings of 1.77 kWh per day and annually 649 kWh,” EESL told The Hindu in an emailed response. “This implies that for the lifetime of an LED, the consumer saves at least Rs.1,250 by not frequently buying ordinary bulbs.” Power Minister Piyush Goyal had repeatedly emphasised that the country would save 100 billion units of electricity a year by switching over to LED, which, he said, translated to a saving of Rs.40,000 crore across all households. According to the website of the Domestic Efficient Lighting Programme, the government has sold 9.17 crore LED bulbs as of April 6, the utilisation of which would result in a reduction of 26,451 tonnes of carbon dioxide per day, or almost 10 million tonnes a year.
