CRD is launching a "ENERGY SAVING METHODS" series providing knowledge about electrical energy and its proper use.

Let's start with the easiest way to save energy and monthly bills when using electrical appliances. Incandescent light bulbs commonly used in our country consume high energy of about 50-60 watts, have a short lifespan, and emit heat during heating - they remain the original version of T. Edison's 1879 patent.

Replacing lighting with LED (light-emitting diode) bulbs reduces 50-60 watt consumption to 11-12 watts, saving 70-80% energy consumption.

A clear example from our daily life:

Entrance lights in apartments are always on in the evening, whether people are there or not. This coincides with peak load times. Turning on such lights 10 hours a day costs 1825.2 tugriks per month, 21902.4 tugriks per year. For a 4-entrance 4-story building, adding outdoor lighting, total annual cost becomes 481,852 tugriks. By replacing with low-power LED lights with motion sensors, you can save 70-80% of this cost.
