REPLACEMENT OF ICLS WITH LED LAMPS IN GUJARAT, INDIA

An incandescent lightbulb requires 60 watts of power to emit around 700 lumens of light whereas LED bulb can emit 700 lumen by consuming just 9 watts. About 95% of the energy in LED is converted into light, and only 5% is wasted as heat.

This project starting in 2022 implements a switch from inefficient incandescent lightbulbs to LED lighting solutions in rural farming households of Gujarat, India to reduce fossil fuel-based energy consumption.​

The project is expected to generate a total of 537,990 tCO2e emission reductions over the crediting period of 10 years starting from 2022.
