Designed for today’s indoor lifestyles, SunBooster by SunLED Life Science restores beneficial near-infrared light during screen time, supporting energy, mood and overall wellbeing

NEW YORK and AMSTERDAM, July 9, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — SunLED Life Science, a health-centered technology scaleup, today announced the US launch of SunBooster, a near-infrared (NIR) device that brings the systemic, essential health and wellness benefits of natural sunlight indoors. SunBooster is a user-friendly device that attaches easily to a PC monitor, laptop or tablet screen. Its technology has been scientifically shown to significantly boost your energy and support your wellbeing. The device delivers a healthy dose of near-infrared light (NIR) – an essential part of sunlight that is absent in indoor light – to users over two to four hours while they work, study, game or browse the internet. View a short video about SunBooster here.

“SunBooster transforms screen time from an energy drain into something that supports well-being. It’s an ideal solution for anyone looking to invest in more energy, a better mood, and long-term wellness benefits for themselves or their team.”

SunBooster is now available for shipping across the US and can be purchased online at a recommended retail price of $249. It is available via the SunBooster website and on Amazon, and will also be available through tm:rw in New York City, starting at the end of July. The award-winning wellness device has earned numerous recognitions, including the 2025 TIME Best Inventions, the 2025 IFA Innovation Award for Best in Digital Healthcare, the CES 2026 Techlicious Editor’s Choice Award, and The Gadgeteer MWC 2026 Best of Show Award.

The growing challenge of modern indoor lifestyles.

All indoor lighting lacks NIR, an essential part of the solar spectrum that makes up 50% of sunlight. The average person spends 90% of their waking hours indoors, deprived of NIR light, which can lead to adverse health effects. As windows filter out NIR, even sunlight that passes through them cannot help address the growing global health issues caused by modern indoor lifestyles.

Scientific literature has shown a range of health and well-being benefits of NIR, including reduced fatigue. A 2023 double-blind clinical study at the University of Groningen found that SunLED’s patented NIR light technology enhances mood and energy, supporting overall wellbeing and vitality. SunBooster’s patented, scientifically validated technology creates photobiomodulation by exposing users to a targeted dose of near-infrared light – an essential component of sunlight that is missing from indoor lighting – over several hours during screen use.

“People in industrialized countries spend most of their waking hours indoors and up to seven hours a day looking at screens – away from sunlight. SunBooster turns that narrative around by transforming screen time from an energy drain into something that supports well-being,” said Dr. Anne Berends, CEO, CTO, and co-founder of SunLED Life Science. “It’s an ideal solution for anyone looking to invest in more energy, a better mood, and long-term wellness benefits for themselves or their team.”

Developed by SunLED Life Science after seven years of research and development, SunBooster is the first NIR device to bring the systemic health benefits of sunlight indoors and make them accessible, allowing people to effortlessly integrate it into their workspace and daily routine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is SunBooster?
A: SunBooster is a near-infrared (NIR) light device that clips onto any laptop or monitor display and delivers a dose of 850nm near-infrared light while people work, game or browse. SunBooster is the first NIR device built specifically to bring the systemic health benefits of sunlight indoors without requiring a dedicated session in front of a lamp.

Q: Who is SunBooster designed for?
A: SunBooster is designed for people who spend long hours at a screen, for example, remote and hybrid knowledge workers, students, gamers, and employers building corporate wellness programs. SunBooster is sold directly to consumers and offered as an enterprise product, with bulk pricing available for corporate wellness programs.

Q: How do you use SunBooster, and how long per day?
A: You clip SunBooster onto any monitor or laptop screen (or place it on the table nearby), positioned so the LEDs point at your chin from the front or side, and stay within 30 to 80 cm of the device. Used for 2 to 4 hours a day, 5 days a week, most people notice a difference

Q: How is SunBooster different from other light therapy or wellness gadgets?
A: Most light therapy devices, such as daylight lamps, red-light panels and UV masks, require users to sit in front of them for a set session. SunBooster runs silently in the background during normal screen time, using narrow-beam optics to deliver near-infrared light while people work. SunBooster’s near-infrared wavelength (850nm) also penetrates more deeply than red light or visible daylight, and its effects are backed by an independent double-blind study rather than category-level wellness claims.

Q: How much does SunBooster cost, and what’s included?
A: SunBooster retails for $249 in the U.S., €199 in Europe and 199£ in the UK, and includes the SunBooster device and a USB-C cable. It draws up to 4.5 watts, weighs 120 grams, and connects via standard USB-C power. Enterprise and bulk pricing are available for employers purchasing SunBooster for corporate wellness programs.

Q: Is SunBooster backed by science or clinical studies?
A: Yes. SunBooster’s near-infrared technology has scientifically demonstrated health benefits, as established in an independent double-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted at the University of Groningen and another at Maastricht University. The Groningen study found improved mood and focus after continued use.

Q: Is SunBooster safe to use?
A: Yes — SunBooster’s near-infrared light has been demonstrated to be safe for daily use, even across multiple sessions throughout the day, with no risk of overexposure.

Q: What is the technology behind SunBooster, and where does it come from?
A: SunBooster runs on SunLED Life Science’s patented near-infrared LED technology, developed over more than seven years of R&D by SunLED’s Amsterdam-based team. SunLED licenses the same core NIR technology to OEM partners for integration into screens, automotive dashboards, and general lighting. SunBooster is SunLED’s first direct-to-consumer application of its technology.

Q: Is SunBooster a medical device?
A: SunBooster is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any medical condition. SunBooster’s effects on mood, energy, and general well-being are described strictly in the context of independent scientific research and user-reported experiences, not as medical claims.

XIAMEN, China, Aug. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Antaisolar, a leading expert in digital and intelligent PV mounting system solutions, announced its official participation in the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) and the release of its 2025 ESG Report, marking two key milestones in the company’s ongoing sustainability efforts.

As a UNGC participant, Antaisolar will incorporate the UNGC Ten Principles into its RAISE sustainability strategy, which is structured around five pillars: Sound Governance, Premium Products, Equity & Inclusion, Ecological Co-existence and Shared Prosperity. Aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the strategy focuses on supply-chain compliance, carbon data management and core competency stewardship, integrating sustainability considerations into business operations and value-chain management.

The 2025 ESG Report details Antaisolar’s performance across environmental, social and governance priorities. According to the report, green power accounted for 15.54% of Antaisolar’s energy consumption, while its self-built solar power plant generated 4,641,057 kWh of electricity annually. The report also highlights continued improvements in energy and emissions management, occupational health and safety, employee development, diversity and inclusion, community engagement, business ethics, risk management and information security, reflecting a more systematic approach to ESG management across the organization. It also links responsible product development and quality management with the company’s broader sustainability objectives, extending ESG considerations from internal operations to the wider industrial value chain. Key ESG data and practices disclosed in the report were independently assured by TÜV SÜD, enhancing the transparency, credibility and reliability of the disclosures.

Antaisolar also unveiled its 2026–2027 action plans for EcoRaise, its global ecological co-building initiative, covering four areas: environmental protection, biodiversity conservation, green energy development and sustainable lifestyles. In 2026, the company partnered with the Xiang’an Animal Protection Association to support the conservation of six national protected bird species through a dedicated donation, expanding its biodiversity efforts from plant conservation to wildlife protection.

Looking ahead, Antaisolar will continue to align its sustainability practices with the UNGC Ten Principles, advance the implementation of its RAISE strategy, and work with global partners to support the global transition toward green energy.

Built to introduce an AI workforce into daily practice with total human oversight, this infrastructure update marks Growhill Wealth’s rebranding from GROW Digital Wealth, maintaining full continuity across platform operations and leadership.

Growhill Wealth, distinguishing itself through robust IFA enablement, is accelerating its expansion in Hong Kong’s US$2.9 trillion* wealth market. As the city surpasses Switzerland as the world’s top wealth hub, the firm will open a new location at One Peking Road this year, followed by a Central office in the first quarter of 2027.

“Asia’s wealth expansion marks a structural shift for independent advisory. By equipping every advisor with secure agentic AI at a fraction of traditional platform costs, Growhill Wealth frees professionals to focus on high-touch advice and client relationships—delivering a caliber of service on par with major private banks,” said Alan Lau, Executive Chairman of Growhill Wealth.

Regulated services across the platform are delivered by Growhill Wealth and its group affiliates under Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission Type 1, 4, and 9 licenses, as well as an Abu Dhabi Global Market Category 3C license.

The platform, which has reached 200 advisors and US$800 million in assets under management and advice, is positioned for its next phase by empowering Asia’s wealth professionals with secure, compliant, and efficient agentic AI capabilities. Growhill Wealth’s human advisors are supported by an always-on AI workforce that monitors client portfolios around the clock and flags what needs attention, prepares research and portfolio reviews, drafts client proposals and updates, and handles routine operations and paperwork.

William Ma, Chief Investment Officer of Growhill Wealth, said, “The future of wealth management will be won on technology, operations and service. Growhill Wealth is built to give independent advisors that infrastructure on an open, AI-native platform, so they can serve clients efficiently and to a higher standard.
