UV-C Light Sanitizers Effective against viruses and bacteria
UV-C light sanitizers are an effective alternative to traditional ventilation systems, which is ideal during the colder months. But the best thing about many modern devices is that they also reduce the risk of disease transmission in private and commercial settings.
What is UV-C?
Ultraviolet radiation (UV radiation) from the sun is divided into three light categories: UV-A, UV-B and UV-C. UV-C radiation, which has a wavelength of 100 - 280 nanometres per second, is intercepted by the atmosphere. But, as it has a germicidal effect, it’s safer to produce it artificially using UV-C lamps.
UV-C radiation is dangerous to both humans and animals, so housing it inside a UV light disinfection means no harmful UV-C light escapes from the device.
The best UV-C Light Sanitizers
Child safe
All housings are secured with safety screws.
Harmless to health
With UV-C light sterilizers, no dangerous radiation penetrates to the outside.
How does UV light disinfection work?
1. Metal and plastic housing
Prevents UV-C radiation from escaping from the unit.
2. UV-C light
The UV-C light eliminates viruses and bacteria in the air.
3. Fan
Sucks air into the housing and blows clean air out.
What are HEPA filters?
HEPA stands for High-Efficiency Particulate Air. And refers to the particulate filter that removes particles smaller than 1 micron, like pollen, viruses, bacteria, aerosols and smoke from the air.
In addition to standard components and particle filters, UV light disinfection can also include a dust filter, which filters out hair and dust. And, depending on the model, carbon filters which reduce odours.

What are UV-C Light Sterilizers useful for?
Reducing the risk of transmitting diseases in a private environment
Whether in nurseries, school or work: avoiding contact with fellow human beings is difficult, even during the COVID-19 pandemic. UV-C air filters disinfect the air and clean it of fungi and allergens.
Disinfecting everyday objects quickly and easily
UV-C disinfection boxes have been developed for disinfecting everyday objects, like mobile phones or pens. No harmful UV-C light can escape the UV-C disinfection box. Even if opened, a safety mechanism will stop the UV radiation from causing any harm.
Tips for correct application
Placement
It's recommended that you place your UV-C light sanitizer in the centre of the room for optimum air circulation, not beside a wall or behind a sofa.
Is UV-C light dangerous?
UV-C light is hazardous to humans and animals. In addition to skin and eye damage, UV-C light also discolours and damages surfaces.
But UV-C radiation is harmless if it remains inside the device, which is the case with all our UV light sanitizers. And for extra security, all housings are secured with safety screws to prevent children (and adults) from opening them.
Surface disinfection when lamps are opened, but this feature is mainly used in the commercial sector, e.g. on buses, coaches, trains, etc.
If your unit offers this option, please read and carefully follow the manufacturer's safety instructions. Do not look into the lamps directly, wear safety goggles and make sure to wear long clothing which covers exposed skin when in use.
