Gwangju Nam-gu (District Mayor Kim Byungnae) announced on the 19th that it will implement a facility improvement project to allow people with mobility difficulties, including disabled individuals and elderly households, to operate LED fluorescent lights with a wireless remote control.

This project, which will run until the 10th of next month, will be carried out in areas with a high concentration of old houses, such as Sajik-dong, Wolsan-dong, Wolsan 4 and 5-dong, Bangnim 1 and 2-dong, and Juwol 1 and 2-dong.

The beneficiaries are households with disabled individuals or seniors who have difficulty moving. The Happy Welfare 7979 Center has selected 20 households based on recommendations and priorities from the administrative welfare centers of the eight districts.

The reason for distributing wireless LED fluorescent lights is that slip-and-fall accidents frequently occur during daily activities, including the process of operating fluorescent lights within residential facilities.

The devices being distributed are palm-sized and come with a wireless remote control. They can be operated from a lying position at any time, which is expected to greatly help prevent safety accidents in advance.

An official from the district said, "Residents with mobility difficulties can fall even if they trip over a threshold or step on a blanket incorrectly, so we are carrying out this wireless LED fluorescent light replacement project to minimize risk factors. After checking residents' satisfaction, we plan to continue the project in the second half of the year as well."
