Kuala lumpur: A total of 35 solar lamps have been installed at seven locations around the Kulai parliament constituency through the 'Sinar HARAPAN' project at a total cost of RM122,500. Kulai Member of Parliament Teo Nie Ching, who is also Deputy Minister of Communications, said the project, which was fully completed on Sept 11, was implemented after requests from the local community.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the specifications of these solar lamps include a power capacity of 60 watts, a height of six metres, and the capability to operate for 12 hours from 7 pm to 7 am. The lamps are equipped with a battery that lasts for two days and comes with a two-year warranty. Teo assured that any damage can be promptly checked by the contractor. The solar lamps have been installed at various sites including the Taman Impiana Senai Recreation Park, Kampung Baru Senai, Kampung Baru Sengkang, Kampung Baru Ayer Bemban Recreation Park, Kampung Baru Sedenak, Dewan Raya PPS Kampung Murni Jaya, and Surau Ayer Bemban.

She highlighted that the LED solar lamp technology used in this project has been approved by the Ministry of Housing and Local Government and is certified by SIRIM, ensuring quality and reliability. Each lamp unit costs approximately RM3,500, and bulk installation has allowed for more competitive pricing.
