As we wrote earlier, a program has been launched in Ukraine to exchange incandescent lighting lamps available to the population for LED bulbs. As planned, the exchange of up to 50 million light bulbs will save about 1 GW of power – the approximate output of one power unit of a nuclear power plant.
The implementation of the program is in full swing, and photos of light bulbs offered by various post offices have already begun to appear on social networks. Some of them raise questions and bewilderment:
In the first photo, it looks like low-power LED bulbs with a small bulb, approximately 4-6 watts. On the third, decorative lamps with red LEDs are probably “posing” (pictures and designations on the boxes usually match their contents). It is difficult to call them an adequate equivalent for exchanging 40-100 W conventional incandescent lamps.
Let’s go to the press. These lamps, according to TSN, were issued in Kyiv at the Main Post Office in the presence of the head of Ukrposhta, Igor Smilyansky. The photo shows high-quality Phillips lamps equivalent to 40 W, as well as lamps from another manufacturer, equivalent to a 75 W incandescent lamp.

Another evidence is from the Lutsk edition of the Competitor. OSRAM lamps with 40 W equivalent, providing a light intensity of 470 lumens. A different manufacturer, but still they can be called a suitable replacement for a 40-60 watt light bulb.
As you know, the purchase of 30 million lamps for the exchange program was financed by the European Union. France provided another 5 million lamps. The remaining 15 million were to be purchased by Ukraine. The government did not specify which lamps of what power and which manufacturer were provided for exchange.
It would be interesting to find out from readers which lamps were offered for exchange (preferably with photo confirmation). It would be even better to get clarifications from Ukrposhta or government agencies.
