SINGAPORE: Jurong Town Council will be the first town council to use LED lights for its common areas in public housing estates.
It will change all its existing 95,000 fluorescent light tubes in corridors, staircases and void decks.
The town council said the customised LED light fittings will consume less power.
They can operate up to 50,000 hours with minimal maintenance and result in less replacement and inspections.
And they will save the town council up to S$1.1 million in electricity bills annually.
The town council decided to go ahead with LED lighting after a pilot project at Block 141, Bukit Batok Street 11 in December 2008.
The LED project is expected to be registered as Singapore's first Programmatic Clean Development Mechanism (P-CDM) project in the United Nations.
P-CDM is a mechanism created to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to sustainable development. - CNA/vm
