What is Disinfecting Lighting?
Disinfection Lighting is lighting that operates at specified wavelengths to inactivate harmful pathogens and viruses.
Unknown Pathogen Effects / Exposure Risk / Technology Infancy
Ultraviolet (UV) (not Lighting) emission band in specific wavelengths that has been shown to inactivate viruses and kill bacteria, mold, and fungi with relatively short exposure duration.
Superior Pathogen Effect / Controllable Exposure Risks / Proven Technology
Ultraviolet (UV) (not Lighting) emission band in specific wavelengths that has been shown to inactivate viruses and kill bacteria, mold, and fungi with relatively short exposure duration.
* Fluence (UV Dose) Required to Achieve Incremental Log Inactivation of Bacteria, Protozoa, Viruses and Algae Revised, updated and expanded by Adel Haji Malayeri, MadjidMohseni, Bill Cairns and James R. Bolton. With earlier contributions by Gabriel Chevrefils(2006) and Eric Caron (2006) With peer review by Benoit Barbeau, Harold Wright (1999) and Karl G. Linden.
Limited Pathogen Effect / Controllable Exposure Risks / Proven Technology
Ultraviolet (UV) non-visible emission in the UV-A and UV-B wavelength bands that provide a germicidal effect over extended exposure periods.
Limited Pathogen Effect / Limited Exposure Risks / Technology Infancy
Lighting that operates outside of the UV spectrum at wavelengths shown to kill bacteria with long exposure durations.
