The company commercializes its technologies via licensing models with strategic partners.

The company’s primary activities include:

Research and Development: Seaborough focuses on long-term research and development projects that require persistence and dedication to develop, from ideation stage to market entry. The company currently has three research teams: Materials, Electronics and Life Sciences. 

Technology Prototyping: Seaborough works on new technology concepts and prototypes to show potential partners the real benefits of the technology and how it can be integrated. 

Overall, Seaborough’s activities are focused on improving the world through innovative technologies and solutions that promote sustainability, energy efficiency, and improved health outcomes.

Easy Engineering: What are the main areas of activity of the company?

SEABOROUGH: Seaborough’s main areas of activity are based on LED lighting and related industries. Seaborough focuses on developing energy-efficient and sustainable LED lighting solutions for commercial use. For instance, we try to create healthy light through innovation, in the field of photobiomodulation. This is the utilization of red and near-infrared light to trigger photochemical effects in cells. These photochemical effects cause a major positive impact on people’s health and well-being.

E.E: What’s the news about new products?

SEABOROUGH: Seaborough is constantly working on new concepts and prototypes to meet the changing needs of the market and stay ahead of industry trends. Once Seaborough has developed and tested a new technology, the company will typically introduce it to strategic partners. At the same time, the general public is informed to create a customer pull for the new technologies. This enables the company to generate interest and build momentum around the new product, and to gauge customer demand and feedback.

E.E: What are the ranges of products?

SEABOROUGH: Seaborough offers technologies for a better and healthier world, in three directions: I) Power Electronics, II) Healthy Lighting, III) improved phosphor materials.

Some of our solutions:

OneTLed: OneTLed is a unique LED solution for replacing fluorescent tubes, that works on 99% of all ballasts and fixtures – showing exceptional retrofit compatibility.

Ultima: Ultima uses an active power correction mechanism inside LED retrofit tubes, which reacts to the properties of the installed electronic ballast. It delivers a substantially more uniform power draw. The active-power-control driver design meets the EU norm in 82% of the cases – more than twice compared to the popular retrofit LED tubes.

SunLED: SunLED incorporates the right wavelength and intensity of near-infrared light, to brings its health benefits to indoor settings. Our patented technology has been scientifically proven by independently conducted clinical trials. SunLED can be integrated in a wide range of products, from lamps to consumer electronics and car interiors. 

E.E: At what stage is the market where you are currently active?

SEABOROUGH: We are currently active in the B2B market, offering licenses to our IP portfolio to parties in the lighting industry and beyond. 

E.E: What can you tell us about market trends?

SEABOROUGH: Our technologies are new and not yet widely recognized, but we believe in their potential to compete with current market trends, and shift customer demand towards the benefits our products provide.

E.E: What are the most innovative products marketed?
