How to Save on KPLC Tokens: Cut Your Outdoor Lighting Bill

By Qyvea Limited · Updated 20 October 2026 · 2 min read

Many homes leave compound lights on all night. It adds up. Here is how to cut the cost.

Know what you spend

An outdoor floodlight on for twelve hours every night uses a lot of units over a month. Add the cost of replacing bulbs.

Quick wins

Ready to light up your place?

Motion-sensor solar lights with the pole included. No wiring, no power bill. Pick your size:

1000W solar street light
1000W · KES 8,000Gates

2000W · KES 12,000Gates

The bigger step: go solar for outdoors

Move the gate, back and yard lights to solar. The tokens saved are real, and the lights work during outages. A 2000W at KES 12,000 can replace several wired lights.

Keep wired lights where they make sense

Keep the wired lights near the house, such as at the door. Put solar at the far spots.

In short: Move outdoor lights that burn all night onto solar and cut your token spend.
