Since 1919, Taylors Bulbs has been growing and supplying flower bulbs across the nation. Based in Lincolnshire, they design an extensive range of products for the UK and Irish markets. With a passion for continual improvement, they wanted to enhance their employee's working environment whilst reducing energy usage and their carbon footprint.
In early 2023 Taylors Bulbs installed 1,544 solar panels on their site, in doing so they have saved 125 tonnes of CO²e per year and produced approximately 538 MWh of electricity annually. The company saw an opportunity to maximise their energy saving by combining solar and LED lighting. By replacing all their old existing linear fluorescents to contemporary LED lights, the company has achieved energy savings of 30% through lighting upgrades.
Adam Taylor, Director, Sales & Marketing at Taylors Bulbs explained “We are delighted with the upgraded lighting in our warehouses and office spaces to energy efficient LED’s. We had just undertaken a solar installation, so it made sense to take an obvious next step and change the entire site to LED lighting and minimise our energy usage.”
