All streetlights to be LED lamps starting September

Ampang MP Zuraida Kamaruddin

KUALA LUMPUR: All roads nationwide will be lit with LED lamps, instead of the traditional light bulbs, in a move to save energy by as much as 50%.

Right now, about 80% of streetlamps in Malaysia use other forms of lighting apart from LED (light-emitting diodes), which are known to be more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly than incandescent bulbs.
