There are a handful of questions that are commonly asked regarding UVC lights. Here are the five that we see most often. 1. What is UVC? Short-wave ultraviolet radiation, in the “C” band of 200 to 280 nanometers, has been used in a wide range of germicidal applications since the late 1800s to destroy bacteria, mold, yeast, and viruses. UV-C,… Read more »

Benefits of UVC in Health Care Facilities
UVC Emitters are ideal for hospitals, clinics, laboratories, hospices, senior facilities and medical offices. UV light in the form of germicidal lamps has been used since the late 1800s to kill the types of microorganisms that typically cause indoor air quality (IAQ) problems — bacteria, mold, yeast, and viruses. Installed at the cooling coil and… Read more »

Ask Rick: What is UVC?
Q. What is UVC? UVC is a type of ultraviolet (UVC) energy in the 260-nanometer frequency. The “C” wavelength is the most germicidal in the UVC spectrum. UVC penetrates the outer structure of the cell and alters the DNA molecule, preventing replication and causing cell death. The UVC energy kills or inactivates microbes, eradicating surface… Read more »
