It regulates our biology and our ecology with broad spectrum UV light and it inspires all our solutions.
UV Light
Is UV Light safe?
There are many different wavelengths within the broad UV spectrum, each with their own potential application and safety profile.
Higher wavelengths like UVA and UVB can be hazardous to your health, but UVC 222nm is safe for occupied indoor spaces and highly effective for inactivating bacteria and viruses.
Outdoors
Can I experience UVC 222 outdoors?
UVC light from the Sun does not penetrate the earth’s atmosphere, so you won’t feel it on a sunny day.
222 Far-UVC
How can the natural power of UVC 222 create safer indoor environments?
222 is a frequency of light that naturally kills up to
0%*
of bacteria and viruses including coronaviruses
*Depends on the length of UVC 222 exposure

- Both Far-UVC 222 light and Traditional-UVC light can penetrate and inactivate airborne influenza and viruses, including coronaviruses.
- Studies have demonstrated that Far-UVC 222 light cannot penetrate the outer layer of human skin or the tear layer of the eye and can be an effective tool in reducing the spread of airborne microbial diseases; Direct exposure to traditional UVC light is a health hazard to human skin and eyes.
- Far-UVC 222 lamps can sanitize occupied indoor spaces and greatly reduce the level of airborne coronaviruses; Traditional UVC lamps are only safe to use in unoccupied indoor spaces.
