Introducing Energy Efficient Lighting

In 2008, CFL bulbs were introduced to the offices at the SriLankan Airline. The project started at the SriLankan Aviation College followed by Flight Operations new building and Admin Building. The annual saving achieved by introducing CFL bulbs was 6.2 Mn LKR.

Then in 2011, LED lighting was introduced. Prior to this most of the areas used three-tube incandescent magnetic ballast bulbs which consume 90W. LED bulbs are long-lasting, durable, and are comparatively cooler than other light filaments. They are mercury-free and less harmful. One-to-one replacement of 12W LED bulbs brought an annual saving of 13.6 Mn LKR.
