Havells India new campaign brings light to a new perspective by redefining LED to Let's End Darkness

The campaign brings real-life inspiring stories of selected heroes who overcame the dusk in their lives and triumphed.

Good lighting, in many aspects, is akin to great poetry. It can uplift one's mood, speak through silence, and convey a wide range of emotions without trying too hard. With the mission to put an end to the darkness from everywhere, Havells India Limited, a leading Fast-Moving Electrical Goods (FMEG) and consumer durable company, in a bid to promote its LED lighting solutions, has released a new digital campaign titled ‘Lets End Darkness moments’. The #LetsEndDarkness campaign aims to highlight the efforts of people who have eliminated darkness from their lives despite obstacles and challenges.

Based on the core idea that everyone holds a different dollop of darkness within themselves and that switching to the LED lighting range from Havells not only brings you a wide range of energy-efficient lighting solutions but also removes the darkness. The brand attempts to capture the ‘enlightenment’ moment by showcasing the victories of a few elected individuals who have reclaimed their lives with determination and enthusiasm. These real-life stories of how "darkest times often lead to the brightest moments" will spread a positive message and will encourage the audience to feel connected with the speakers, their struggles, and their illumination towards victory.
