UV Disinfecting Lights & Air Purifier Fixtures 

UV disinfection lights use Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) as a disinfection method by emitting short-wavelength ultraviolet light to kill or inactivate microorganisms. By destroying nucleic acids and disrupting the microorganism's DNA, UV disinfecting lights leave microorganisms unable to perform vital cellular functions. Disinfecting lights is used in a variety of applications, such as food, air, room and water purification.More recently, Handheld UV Disinfection Lights are being used to disinfect corona virus and bacteria on surfaces, including work stations, machines, tables and more.

UV Light Disinfection

The mainstream, prevalent use of UV light in established industries, such as food processing, wastewater treatment and healthcare (hospitals), reinforces the viability of UV disinfecting lights, making it a tried-and-tested solution. Reliability and peace of mind are the secondary benefits that come with UV light sanitation, as this disinfection method has been around for decades.

To ensure proper disinfection, UV-C light intensity, duration, exposure and deployment should be carefully maximized. Using a variety of UV lights and devices, from portable UV disinfection carts and UV air sanitizers to compact UV hand lamps and UV sanitation boxes, is recommended for a complete approach to sanitation on the field or in facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Are UV Disinfection Lights?

UV disinfection uses Ultraviolet light germicidal irradiation (UVGI) as a disinfection method. UV lights emit short-wavelength ultraviolet light that kill or inactivate micro-organisms such as bacteria, molds, viruses and other pathogens. The use of ultraviolet light been an accepted practice since the mid-20th century, primarily within medical sanitation and sterile work facilities. However UV light sanitizers have been increasingly employed to sterilize drinking and wastewater and in recent years, UV sterilization lights have found renewed application in air purifiers.

Where are UV Disinfecting Lights Used?

UV light disinfection is used in a variety of applications, such as food, air, healthcare room and water purification. Handheld UV Disinfection Lights can disinfect corona virus and bacteria on surfaces including work stations, machines, tables and more. When used in conjunction with filters, air duct UV disinfection lights can be used to purify circulating air. UV disinfection is used hospitals, food service, clean rooms, water treatment facilities and other applications where microorganisms are a threat. Disinfecting light can also be used to disinfect the interior surfaces of vehicles in between rides. It also has applications in the retail to disinfect shopping carts, counters and in industrial and commercial offices settings. Here is a sample of places where UV disinfecting lights are used.

What are the benefits of UV Light Disinfection?

  • Non Toxic
  • Defeats micro-organisms such as bacteria, molds, viruses and other pathogens
  • Inhibits micro-organism growth on surfaces when used in a regimen
  • Ease of use
  • Affordable, cost effective
  • UV offers a key advantage over chlorine-based disinfection, due to its ability to inactivate protozoa that threaten public health – most notably Cryptosporidium and Giardia.
