Project to install Solar-powered LED Lights in Gurgaon soon
LEDs help cut down on the power consumption figures greatly, while providing more energy as compared to conventional lights. LEDs have 80% efficiency, which means around 80% of the electrical energy you supply gets converted to light, which is quite high compared to conventional light sources, which have only 20% efficiency.
According to the Haryana Renewable Energy Development Agency (HAREDA) officials in Chandigarh, the agency is looking for private manufacturers of LED light systems in Haryana, and that the tender for the project to install solar-powered LED streetlights in Gurgaon has just been floated. All the participating private firms will submit samples of LEDs manufactured by them. These samples will then be tested in our laboratories for authenticity,” added the official.
The LED lamps, mounted on a four-metre pole and attached to solar photo-voltaic cells, will illuminate all the major streets of the city. HAREDA has also sketched out similar plans of setting up LED streetlight networks in 14 other districts of Haryana.The light systems will also be fitted with photo-voltaic batteries encased in rain- and tamper-proof covers.
The official added that the project budget and timelines are yet to be finalized.The deadline for the private firms to submit their proposals is August 12, after which the plans will be pushed further. He said, “LEDs are very cost effective. An average bulb lasts for more than 10 years, which saves a whole lot of replacement costs.”
