The proposed new lighting scheme uses LED (Light Emitting Diode) fittings that consume 1 watt per hour per bulb.

An array of 350, 1 watt, LED technology brings out the richness of Victorian architecture at the ceiling.

LED light equipments generate lesser heat & consume lesser power than conventional fluorescent tubes or other such fittings.

LED lights under the “solar topee” canopy.

Why LED fittings?

LED fittings light the panels
