A Lightbulb Moment
Tide.lamp by Tidelight began as a personal project in 2017, created by founder Alex Tweed in Cornwall where he enjoys the coast with his family. After seeing how much visiting friends loved it, he refined the design to share it with others.

Funding the Prototypes
It was a major undertaking, but in 2024, with support from the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and Cornwall Council, Alex assembled a team of experts, including electronics and industrial designers, wood turners, and PCB manufacturers in the South West of England to develop a marketable prototype.

Turning on the tide
The result was a beautifully crafted piece that met Alex's high standards for quality interior design and sustainability. After extensive testing of Tide.lamp and its supporting app, it was ready for CE and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) certification.
