LED Usage Policy
LEDs provide a safe and energy-efficient working environment. They reduce operating costs and satisfy student and faculty demands for green energy and eco-friendly solutions. They also provide superior durability in physical environments that can place extreme stresses on lighting fixtures and standards. Because of their superior energy efficiency over more traditional lighting systems, LED lighting allows Educational Institutions to save substantial amounts of operating and maintenance costs. An LED bulb might consume less than half the energy as a traditional bulb while generating the same or better quality light. The quality and characteristics of LED lighting also improve the overall safety of the Firebird environment. LED lighting for educational Institutions can facilitate more consistent and uniform lighting across an entire campus while eliminating dangerous shadows and dark areas. Because LED lighting is more efficient and less expensive to operate, the Firebird Institute of Research in Management, Coimbatore, has adopted a policy to install only LEDs for lighting purposes. The purpose served by the traditional bulbs and tube light is best served with LEDs. Hence, LEDs are being used and will be used in the future, too, instead of the traditional bulbs and tube lights.
