How to Save Energy

India's power-generating capacity is currently 15% below the levels
required to provide consistent power to everyone in the country.

According to an article in Business Week, the government of
Maharashtra, our most industrialized state, has announced it is facing
a severe power shortage.

And the bad news is this shortage won't be eliminated any time soon.

According to a senior government official, India will miss the
government's target of adding 78,577MW of power generation capacity by
2012 because of shortage of equipment.

Now, Company X's technology doesn't help generate more electricity or
help our power plants produce electricity more efficiently.

Rather, it makes an energy-efficient light source that reduces
electricity usage by 40% to 90% depending on size and model.

Here's how this amazing technology works. . .

Instead of using a filament as the lighting source, like in
conventional electric bulbs...

Or gases, like in halogen and fluorescent light bulbs...

This technology shines brighter by using light-emitting diodes or LEDs
as the source of illumination.

You may think of LEDs as those little digital displays in pocket
calculators and on other electronic devices.

But large LEDs in fact generate an extremely bright light with minimal
energy consumption.
To give you an idea of how incredibly efficient Company X's new LED
lighting technology is, a conventional 100 Watt incandescent bulb
generates around 15 lumens of brightness per Watt of electric current.

By comparison, Company X's new LED technology generates up to 20
lumens with only a 5 Watt bulb.
The greater efficiency of LEDs reduces the energy demand of lighting
systems. And in addition, the LED bulbs also have a longer life.

So overall, replacing conventional light bulbs with LED lighting can
cut energy consumption by as much as 90%:
