About UV-C Light
UV-C is part of the Ultra-violet light spectrum that is filtered out by the earth’s atmosphere. The “C” stands for the particular frequency of UV light that kills germs.
UV-C technology has been used to kill germs for almost 100 years. The first usage was in France in 1909 to disinfect their water system. This technology is still used today in hospitals, commercial buildings and custom homes to kill germs.
UV-C has been proven to kill germs that cause: influenza, strep throat, colds, staph infections and tuberculosis. UV-C has been proven to kill germs that are drug-resistant.
UV-C light is highly effective at penetrating thin-walled germs like viruses and bacteria. The light alters the genetic structure of the germ and they die.
Prolonged exposure (i.e. eight hours) to UV-C light can create eye irritations. It is recommended never to expose the UV-C light to your eyes or skin because it can cause irritation.
