We push the boundaries of design + technology
Our LED bulbs are built with performance and impact in mind. Each product moves the industry closer to a low-carbon future.
We draw inspiration from nature
4.5 billion years of evolution is the ultimate design reference. It inspires our thinking and shapes our solutions.
We collaborate
Great ideas don’t happen in isolation. We work with partners who share our belief in the power of sustainable design. We’re the preferred LED light-source supplier for some of the most celebrated lighting brands worldwide.
We build sustainability into every product
Low energy is just the start. We design for low carbon, low impact, and long life. That means circular principles, responsible sourcing, and zero plastic.
We care about how you live
Our lights are designed to fit seamlessly into any space. They're customisable, easy to install, and delivered quickly and safely. We’re here to make lighting simple, thoughtful, and built around you.
We’re supporting the move to low-carbon, one light at a time
We tap into 4.5 billion years of research and development
Transitioning over three million homes to LED lighting was just the beginning.
Electronic Waste
E-waste is a growing problem, with more than two million tons generated every year. This is why we design lighting that lasts. Our products are built for longevity, easy to repair, and made to reduce waste.
Repairable Design
The right to repair matters to us. We create lighting that can be maintained, fixed, and disassembled with ease. This supports circularity and reduces the need for replacement.
Product Durability + Attachment
We design with durability and emotional connection in mind. Using premium materials and timeless forms, we create products people want to keep. When products are cherished, they stay in homes longer and avoid landfill.
Lowering global energy demand has never been more important. Lighting still accounts for 15% of global electricity use. A rapid shift to high-efficiency lighting could prevent more than 800 million metric tons of CO₂ emissions each year.
Since day one, we’ve focused on designing lighting that does more with less. Working with LEDs allows us to create low-energy, long-lasting products without compromising on quality or design. LED lighting is up to 90% more energy-efficient and lasts up to ten times longer than traditional incandescent bulbs.
Tala has funded the planting of over 130,000 trees across international reforestation projects. We support a diverse range of initiatives, all connected by a focus on community development and long-term environmental impact. Many of these projects also contribute to poverty alleviation and the protection of biodiversity.
Our reforestation partnerships include The Heart of England Forest in the UK (2016–2018), The National Forest Foundation in the USA (2018), WeForest in India (2018), and most recently, a mangrove restoration project with Eden Reforestation in Madagascar (2021–2022).
You can only manage what you measure. At Tala, our in-house supply chain team works closely with trusted vendors and accredited testing labs to ensure full transparency and control. We track all global shipments by sea and air through a centralised system, giving us a clear view of our logistics footprint.
Measurement is the starting point in our effort to reduce environmental impact. Tala is now carbon neutral on all inbound shipments and has reduced air freight from 10% in FY20 to 1.4% in FY21.
We are a proud member of the Lighting Industry Association UK. As part of their Quality Assurance programme, Tala is recognised as an LIAQA Assured Company.
“Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.”
- Frank Lloyd Wright
We agree with Frank, and some of our best designs have come from this approach. Discovering how to make an object feel like it's carved from nature has been a fantastic design challenge.
We reinforce our responsibility to protect nature as a vital resource and source of inspiration through our biophilic designs.
Our product design and supply chain teams have focused intensely on this challenge. Shipping delicate glass products internationally and navigating established industry practices is complex, but we have united around a clear purpose. Today, 100 percent of Tala’s packaging in production is plastic-free.
We are pleased to say that 100% of all Tala packaging in production is now plastic free.
Switching to recyclable materials will save approximately 8,000 kilograms of single-use plastic annually, which is roughly the weight of a standard lorry.
Materiality matters. At Tala, we work with a focused palette of high-quality, premium materials. This enhances both the look and feel of our designs while reducing end-of-life impact.
All Tala light bulbs are made from glass. We use borosilicate glass for the complex, mouth-blown shapes and soda lime glass for the smaller, uniform forms. For our fixtures, aluminium and brass are our materials of choice due to their durability and recyclability.
