Responsible<\/span> paving and walling manufacturer, Tobermore, has invested \u00a33<\/span>4<\/span>k in<\/span>to the installation of <\/span>energy-efficient <\/span>LED light<\/span>ing<\/span> across their sites.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Tobermore is committed to reducing their carbon footprint where possible. By switching from fluorescent\/metal halide lighting to LED lighting in each of their 10 factories and quarry, Tobermore has implemented a quick way to reduce their overall CO2 emissions. Retrofitting the exterior and interior lighting at their facilities has also created a much brighter working environment for operatives.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

LEDs can use approximately 50% less power when compared to traditional lighting sources. LED technology is a readily available and easily actionable solution to dramatically lower carbon.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With soaring energy prices and global emissions rising at unprecedented levels, companies and households alike are transitioning to energy-efficient LED lighting.\u00a0 Tobermore leads by example in taking immediate climate action.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

According to <\/span>The Climate Group<\/span><\/a>, lighting accounts for nearly 5% of global CO2 emissions. It has been projected that a global switch to LED lighting could save over 1,400 million tonnes of CO2 and avoid the construction of 1,250 power stations.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

David Henderson, Managing Director of Tobermore, commented:<\/span><\/h4>\n

\u201cSustainability is of the utmost importance at Tobermore. We are constantly looking for ways to reduce our carbon footprint. Rolling out \u00a334k of LED lighting within our production facilities was a no brainer. The energy-efficient lighting will reduce our CO2 emissions while saving money on our energy bills. LED lighting is a win-win for businesses and households alike, I would encourage more people to make the switch.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
