Product Monday: SunBooster, NIR Light Therapy Device

SunLED Life Science is set to unveil SunBooster, an innovative Near-Infrared (NIR) light therapy device, at CES 2025. This product aims to address the health concerns associated with prolonged indoor living, by bringing benefits of natural sunlight to indoor environments.

Key Features of SunBooster

SunBooster is designed to attach easily to computer monitors and laptops, integrating into users’ workspaces. The device delivers a targeted dose of Near-Infrared light, which is typically absent in indoor lighting.

Technical Specifications:

• Three 850 nm Near-Infrared LEDs
• Narrow-beam optics for precise light delivery
• Onboard sensors for automatic activation
• Bluetooth connectivity for easy data access

Health Benefits

The average person spends about 90% of their waking hours indoors, deprived of Near-Infrared light. This lack of NIR exposure can lead to adverse health effects.

Potential Benefits of NIR Exposure:

• Improved mental health
• Increased energy levels
• Reduced drowsiness
• Enhanced mood
• Lowered resting heart rate
• Strengthened immune system

Scientific Basis

Near-Infrared light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, has been shown to have numerous health benefits. NIR light penetrates deeply into the body, affecting cellular processes.

Key Mechanisms:

• Stimulation of mitochondrial function
• Increased ATP production
• Enhanced antioxidant defenses
• Promotion of anti-inflammatory effects

Market Positioning

SunLED positions SunBooster as a revolutionary, affordable solution to counteract the negative health effects of insufficient natural light exposure. The company envisions integrating their technology into various products to improve users’ health across different indoor environments.

Upcoming Showcase

SunLED will demonstrate SunBooster’s potential at the following events:

• CES Unveiled Las Vegas: January 5, 2025, Mandalay Bay Hotel, 5-8:30 pm Pacific
• CES 2025: January 7-10, 2025, NL Tech Pavilion, Venetian Expo, Eureka Park, Hall G, Booth 62100
