State-run Eastern Tubes to produce LED light soon

Aiming to ensure efficient use of electricity, state-owned Eastern Tubes Limited (ETL) is going to produce energy-efficient LED light in the country soon.

To this end, the installation of LED Light (CKD) Assembling Plant at ETL Tejgaon factory is at the final stage, reports BSS citing a press release.

ETL is installing the plant at a cost of Taka 482 million.

Project Director of the LED Light (CKD) Assembling Plant project Engineer Shamim Ahmed said the necessary pieces of equipment for producing LED light have been imported from South Korea and they are being installed with the help of South Korean company Harmanikom Limited.

“We will produce energy-efficient LED light instead of fluorescent bulbs to meet the domestic demand,” he added.

He hoped that the production of LED light will start after opening the assembling plant.
