Promoting solar model lamps and LEDs
 
Objective:
To motivate the community living around Bolgoda Lake, especially the fishermen who are engaged in fishing in the Lake to use solar lamps in place of the currently used kerosene oil lamps for night fishing. This would result in avoidance of water being contaminated with kerosene oil, which is detrimental for fish breeding.  
 
Activities undertaken and completed:

Survey to identify mode of lighting used for night fishing and also for the homes
Importing and testing types of LED related lighting mechanisms
Testing the LED lighting system to find out suitability
Introducing LED lighting systems to selected fishermen
Introducing a solar lighting unit for a home which did not have electricity
Testing solar power unit for the proposed EEC
