Background
It is a global corporate goal for Unilever to reduce its CO2 emissions from its factories by 2020. Their Tatura site in Victoria had retrofitted some areas to LED previously, but they wanted to upgrade the whole site with better quality LEDs. Shine On was selected for this role due to the longevity of our products and following a significant due diligence process by Unilever.
The project
After a thorough assessment, including lighting designs and a lighting trial, we upgraded their old inefficient lights to market-leading Shine On LEDs. The highbays were custom made to fit their recessed fittings and to be compatible with their current lighting system.
Results
Following installation of over 1,200 Shine On LEDs, the site will save 70% on its lighting consumption, which will deliver 10 year savings of over $1.1 million. This, all within a pay pack period of only 11 months! We have since upgraded their Minto NSW site which manufactures Streets ice cream and the results were 10 year savings of $1.4 million and a payback period of only eight months!
