Antimicrobial Lighting
Antimicrobial lighting enables permanent inactivation of bacteria, viruses, spores, fungi and other pathogens by destroying the genetic information in their DNA.
UV disinfection, also known as ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI), is a method of disinfection that utilizes ultraviolet (UV) light to inactivate or destroy microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The high energy photons of ultraviolet radiation in C-region (100 -280 nm) can disrupt the molecular structure of DNA and RNA, which in turn limits the ability of microorganisms to reproduce and duplicate.
UVC germicidal lights are powerful instruments to disinfect surface, air and water against a whole suite of human pathogens. Antimicrobial lighting can be used in various indoor environments where hygiene and cleanliness are crucial, including healthcare facilities, laboratories, food processing plants, schools, offices, public transportation, and residential buildings.
