Jurong Town Council will be the first town council to start using LED Lighting for its common areas in public housing estates. This measure will change all of its 95,000 fluorescent light tubes in corridors, staircases and void decks. The LED Lighting installation will consume less electrical power and it will also save the town council 1.1 million annually.

I believe that this LED Lighting project can also help the environment because lesser electrical consumption will mean lesser air pollution due to fuels being burned to create electricity. I think that we should reduce the amount of electricity usage in order to play our part to save the environment.
