Under the project, each household will be provided with two LED bulbs of 9 watts each.  80 per cent power could be saved if conventional lights are replaced with LED lamps. As energy saving will be quite substantial, the board has decided to distribute two 9 watt LED bulb to each household on exchange of two 60 watt incandescent bulbs to save power consumed.
