as it stands to day there is no certification authority to authenticate quality of LED bulbs. So many spurious organizations have come up. the bulbs fail so frequently, that it shakes our faith in the technology. So government should come out with certification agencies. all the signals in the road should be replaced by LED cluster lights. it should be made mandatory. it also serves another purpose. signals will function smoothly even without main power supply.

Replace the existing sodium vapor lamps used in street lighting with LED bulbs.

Kerala has a successful model. Free supply of two LEDs at a time for those in BPL and two each to all other consumers @ about 90 Rs/piece.It has worked out successfully. Offer and later supply are both stamped in respective consumer bills. Worthy of emulation with or without modification.

Should carry out awareness programs in regional languages. Give projects to diploma or ITI institutions, that will prepare the students with visual presentations which includes the monetary benefits, environmental benefits of the use of LEDs over others and so on and ask the students to carry out seminars or road show as a part of project.

HOW TO GET AND WHERE TO GET? IS THE MAIN THING THE PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE LEDs. One person was asking me that whether the LEDs are available at POST OFFICE? I told him no idea. similar problems are prevailed all around. I have never seen any advertisement about where the LEDs are available in subsidised rates. I also heard a rumor that the LEDs caused cancer. With advertisement it should be mentioned that it is not harmful for health.

Our research organizations like DRDO, IITs and industry should be given a mandate to come with most cost effective and futuristic Lighting solution which should have a service life at at least 10 to 15 years. Light output per watt consumption of electricity should be 200lumens or above. Like medical expenses exemptions in IT, cost of energy efficient bulb procurement also donation of such lighting solutions should be exempted and tracked based on adhaar no of the person.

Are we considering the simple age old answer? Taxation. Imposing an "inefficiency tax" of 800% or something like that to bring the cost of CFL and incandescent bulbs at par with LED and encourage adoption of LED bulbs? We must at this stage have a policy in place on disposing used LED bulbs - these are highly toxic (GaAs - Gallium arsenide). Perhaps put a Rs25 recycle fee on the bulb. The used bulbs may be redeemed at at recycle stations for Rs 20.

more subsidies can be introduced for LEDs for domestic users. Govt officer entrusted to replace with LEDs.

6) All central government offices , museums should have LED s installed and emails to all officials on the benefits 7) Ruling political party should be given the task to spread the word at grass root levels

1) Manufacturing of CFL and Incandescent lamps should be stopped immediately by law. 2) All post offices in the country should be given a target of selling 100 LED lamps/tubes a day. 3) Every major railway station should have their lighting replaced to LED lamps and existing CFL to be donated at villages . All new railway stations should have LED / Solar light installed 4) School curriculum should have chapter on green energy and LED in science 5) Social media promotion
