Can light stop the coronavirus
Far-UVC light is a type of ultraviolet light that kills microbes and viruses and, crucially, seems to be safe to use around humans.

It regulates our biology and our ecology with broad spectrum UV light and it inspires all our solutions.
UV Light
Is UV Light ok to be used inside?
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 highly effective for inactivating pathogens and can be used within occupied indoor spaces.
Outdoors
Can I experience UVC 222nm 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 power of UVC 222nm light create cleaner indoor environments?
222nm is a frequency of light that cleans up to

of pathogens, including many coronaviruses
*Depends on the length of UVC 222nm exposure

- Both Far-UVC 222nm light and Traditional-UVC light can penetrate and inactivate airborne influenza and viruses, including coronaviruses.
- Studies have demonstrated that Far-UVC 222nm 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 222nm lamps can clean at the 'edge' of occupied indoor spaces and greatly reduce the level of airborne pathogens; Traditional UVC lamps are only safe to use in unoccupied indoor spaces.
