CONCLOUSION:
RETAILERS
o o o o o
Promotional activities are a must for lighting to push in the market. Brand name is play a vital role when selling the lighting products. Quality of Wipro lighting products is very good accepted by the retailers. Sales margin is best promotional activity. Offers are accepted by the Retailers company have giving good offers in CFL tubes but the local companies are giving much more margin that is big problem. Philips is main competitor to the Wipro Lighting products.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Wipro should make effective promotional strategies to promote lighting products in rural area. The survey also showed that the retailers are not satisfied with the commission which provided by the company. Company have to make some new strategies for retailers which can attract them to buy and sell. Improvement in sales margin is best strategies that I can suggest. Quality of Wipro lighting products is very good. So Wipro have to look at price factor which is the main problem.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Lamp fuels were editable, so lamps were more likely to be used by the wealthy than the poor. In times of hunger, fats would be consumed by the poor, and they would have less fuel available for their lamps.
EARLY LIGHTING
In the ancient civilizations of Babylonian and Egypt, light was a luxury. The Arabian Nights were far from the brilliance of today. The palaces of the wealthy were lighted only by flickering flames of simple oil lamps. These were usually in the form of small open
ELECTRICITY - (1899)
Although many early men experimented with electricity, none knew that electricity was atomic in nature. It was the English physicist Joseph John (later Sir Joseph) Thompson, who finally lifted the veil shrouding the phenomenon of electricity. In 1899, he demonstrated that electrons are the carriers of electricity, and, further that each of them carries an elementary quantum of a negative electric charge.

On the evening of October 21, 1879, Thomas Edison began to test a new filament material for the incandescent electric lamp he had been working on for fourteen months. Edison had conducted hundreds of trials with different filaments and would eventually try over 6,000 materials. For this test, Edison used a short length of cotton thread, baked to eliminate everything but carbon (i.e., carbonized), and housed within a glass bulb evacuated of almost all oxygen. The new filament was a breakthrough, burning more than half a day. With additional refinements, Edison had created what no one else had beforea practical electric light bulb. But Edison did not stop there. For electric lighting to become a commercial

Technologies that have benefited society and powered our economy through everincreasing levels of convenience, comfort, productivity, and environmental protection. Today, U.S. shareholder-owned electric companies are carrying on Edison's tradition, providing affordable, reliable electricity to millions of homes and businesses, while finding new and innovative ways to generate this power cleanly and efficiently In todays world we cannot imagine a life without lighting products. Every man wants lighting products to make his/her life full of brightness. No body want to leave in darkness. Bulbs, tubes are some electrical products which make mankind life very bright. In India there is many more company which manufacturing lightning products. The big name like Philips, Oreva, Anchor, Wipro, harshal, Hindustan is some company which producing lighting products .In India lightning industry is one of the biggest business which growing very fastly an making profit.

Products
There has been effective widening of locally produced range of lamps along with advent of electronics in lighting thereby supplying better, more efficient and cheaper lighting with improved aesthetics
In incandescent lamp a tungsten element is sealed in vacuum or inert atmosphere and heated to high temperature by passage of electric current and the hot filament emits light
In fluorescent lamps the emitted radiation is predominantly ultra violet which is converted into visible light. CFL a relatively recent introduction in this category In discharge lamps current is passed through gas sealed in a tube and the gas atoms emit their characteristic radiation
Markets Incandescent lamps account for over 70% of the market, fluorescent tubes for 20 - 25% of the market in value terms.

Usage
Incandescent lamps and fluorescent lamps are generally used for indoor lighting Incandescent lamps are inefficient and have a low life Discharge lamps are energy efficient and have a longer life Discharge lamps such as high pressure mercury, high pressure sodium, metal halide are commonly used for outdoor lighting
Backward integration and / or mergers will be a key for survival Wide distribution network and reach critical to success Export market to be seriously pursued Development of energy efficient lighting sources & control systems
18
Lack of economies of scale in most units High input costs of new materials & components resulting in non competitive prices and poor exports CFL which offer significant energy savings are still not competitive, as incandescent lamps in the 25 - 100W range continue to dominate the domestic & commercial lighting
Over capacities have resulted in price wars & commission wars, profitability of players have eroded Cheap imports from China and Korea a serious issue
Due to ever increasing energy costs & growing environmental concerns CFL will be the order of the day (as it saves 80% on electricity bills) Increasing energy, maintenance costs & serious concerns with respect to safety will result in Electronic Control Gear (ECG) replace conventional Ballast
In FTL segment should shift to energy efficient tri-phosphor lamps of lesser diameter which is the international trend
Demand Drivers
Massive rural electrification programme which is underway will increase the demand Growing middle class will add to the existing demand Industrial lighting demand directly related to industry growth

Wipro Consumer Care & Lighting Wipro started in 1945 with the setting up of an oil factory in Amalner a small town in Maharashtra in Jalgaon District. The product Sunflower Vanaspati and 787 laundry soap (largely made from a bi-product of Vanaspati operations) was sold primarily in Maharashtra and MP. The company was aptly named Western India Products Limited.
The Birth of the name Wipro - As the organization grew and diversified into operations of Hydraulic Cylinders and InfoTech, the name of the organization did not adequately reflect its operations. Azim Premji himself in 1979 selected the name "Wipro" largely an acronym of Western India Products. Thus was born the Brand Wipro. The name Wipro was unique and gave the feel of an 'International" company. So much so that some dealers even sent their cheques favoring Wipro (India) Limited. Fortunately, the banks accepted them!!

The Wipro product basket had soaps called Wipro Shikakai, Baby products under Wipro Baby Soft, Hydraulic Cylinders branded Wipro, PCs under the brand name Wipro, a joint venture company with GE named Wipro GE and software services branded Wipro. The Wipro logo was a 'W", but it was not consistently used in the products.

The feeling that a product has met or exceeded the customers expectation. Keeping current customer satisfied is just as important as attracting new ones and a lot less expensive. Firms that have a reputation for delivering high levels of customer satisfaction do things differently from their competitors. Top management is obsessed with customer satisfaction and employees throughout the organization understand the link between their job and satisfied customers. The culture of the organization is to focus on delighting customers rather then on selling products.

Promotional activities are a must for lighting to push in the market. Brand name is play a vital role when selling the lighting products. Quality of Wipro lighting products is very good accepted by the retailers. Sales margin is best promotional activity. Offers are accepted by the Retailers company have giving good offers in CFL tubes but the local companies are giving much more margin that is big problem.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Wipro should make effective promotional strategies to promote lighting products in rural area.
The survey also showed that the retailers are not satisfied with the commission which provided by the company. Company have to make some new strategies for retailers which can attract them to buy and sell. Improvement in sales margin is best strategies that I can suggest.
Quality of Wipro lighting products is very good. So Wipro have to look at price factor which is the main problem.
Promotional activity are the main key to push the product Wipro have to make effective promotional activity which influence to customer to buy product.
Advertisement is the main promotional activity company have to make some more budget for advertisement.
Company have to make good quality product at low rate which help to compete with the local brands. Company should bring down there product rates which help to compete with the local competitor.
