The Kelani CFL range of bulbs is produced to withstand the fluctuations in electricity supply, which is a common occurrence in Sri Lanka. Further it has been produced with the latest secure mechanism in the world to produce CFL bulbs, which is ‘Amalgam technology.’

Especially households who have children who are studying will immensely benefit by using this newest CFL bulb introduced by the Kelani Cables PLC,” said Saranapala.
