How UV Lighting Helps Sanitize
UV-C, or germicidal light, emits rapid, chemical-free rays from 200-280 nanometers and according to an IES report, have shown to be highly effective in destroying germs and bacteria upon contact. With minimal human contact and proper protection, this makes for an effective way to clean your space.
UV lighting is non-toxic and is safe for use on food, water, and inanimate surfaces. People are advised to avoid excessive exposure to direct rays, but small doses of contact are significantly less harmful than the substances used in chemical disinfectants.
Types of UV Lighting Products
There are several types of UV lighting that can be used for air and surface sanitization in large facilities and office spaces.
Ceiling & Downlight Sanitization
Ideal for spaces with a large surface area that requires cleaning multiple surfaces or an entire room. They work on-demand and only need one cycle. Products like the Kenall Indigo-Clean Technology and the Cleanse® Retrofit Troffer eliminate the possibility of manual, human error by directly covering entire surfaces.
Portable & Mobile Sanitization Devices
These products are designed to be easily transported from room to room, making it an ideal choice for businesses like hotels and childcare. Manufacturers, such as Puro Lighting, create portable units that are perfect for spot treatments on areas with unpredictable traffic patterns.
