ii)  RETROFITMENT OF HALOGEN HEADLIGHT WITH LED HEADLIGHT


                    Halogen  based  Headlights are  provided  in  Three  Phase Electric
                    Locomotives to illuminate track, track-side indication, OHE masts, any
                    obstruction/abnormality  on  track  etc.,  With  the  advancement  of
                    technology  energy  efficient  LED  based  headlight  for  enhanced
                    illumination  for  better  visibility  and  reliability  was  developed.  Each
                    Headlight unit consists of two separate independent high intensity LED
                    lamps assembly provided in water proof enclosure having toughened
                    front glass with separate current regulators. Each unit is of 50Watts and
                    beam  direction  is  independently  adjustable.  The  intensity  of  the
                    complete head light system in bright mode, at a distance of 8 meters

                    is 7000 Lux and at 305 meters  is 4.8 Lux. 10 loco sets of LED headlights
                    were supplied by M/s Evergreen Engineering Co. Pvt. Ltd., Palghar at
                    a cost of Rs.8,96,000/- and were retrofitted in 10 locomotives.
