At Seaborough, we believe the world has a unique opportunity to phase-out inefficient, outdated fluorescent lighting technologies and accelerate markets to clean, energy-efficient LED lighting. However, commercial LED retrofit tubes are falling short of their energy savings claims and CO2 emissions reduction. Their performance varies heavily, depending on the legacy electronic ballasts already installed. Ultima is the solution.
New Seaborough research, validated by DEKRA, shows commercial LED retrofit tubes display a wide variation in power draw, depending on the legacy electronic ballasts installed already - and there is an incredible variety of legacy electronic ballasts in the field today.
This wide variation in power draw is the reason commercial LED retrofit tubes are not delivering the claimed energy savings up to half the time. Accordingly, CO2 emissions reduction is falling short.
At Seaborough, we believe this is a majorly unfavorable and unsustainable situation and we all have an important role to play in leading climate change. To capture the full energy savings and CO2 emissions reduction potential from LED retrofit tubes, we are introducing Ultima.
Ultima is a new disruptive technology that uses an active power correction mechanism inside LED retrofit tubes, which reacts to the properties of the installed electronic ballast. Power spread is significantly reduced and, in combination with Seaborough’s OneTLed solution, an impressive 92% of tube-ballast combinations fall between +/-10% mean power, over twice as much as commercially available LED retrofit tubes.
Our Ultima technology can be embedded in LED retrofit tubes. To get access to our proprietary technology and create value, licenses on Ultima can be acquired.
For the best of both worlds, i.e. exceptional retrofit compatibility and guaranteed energy savings and safety, Ultima can be combined with Seaborough’s OneTLed retrofit LED tube solution. Alternatively, Ultima is offered as a standalone solution, and can be embedded in any tube design.
