In place of conventional fluorescent lamps, T5 lamps plus CFL lamps, high wattage MH lamps now LED lightings are present and this switching over to 100 % energy efficient LED lightings by southern Railway is appreciated greatly.
The two main advantages of using LED lightings are better illumination and longevity as this LED lighting is the current technology in the lighting industry. It is worthy to mention here that the payback period is also very attractive and this was confirmed by a press release.
