This eye and skin safe disinfection unit uses one 10-watt microplasma board that emits far-UV 222 nm germicidal light. Featuring an expected lifespan of 6,000+ hours, the unit is compatible with 120-277V AC, 50/60Hz.

*Please note: This product produces UV light. Make sure to follow all safety guidelines and protocols found in the user manual. UVC light in the proper setting kills up to 99.9% of viruses, mold, spores and bacteria. Click here to learn more about UVC and the corona virus*

The IND-CDL-RD-6-FUVC-MP-1L-V1 UV sanitation light is a powerful recessed lighting solution for buildings. This 10-watt unit consists of one microplasma board that provides 222nm far UV-C output. Equipped with an expected lifespan of 6,000+ hours, the light emits a flood beam pattern and is replaceable. This far-UV unit is capable of achieving up to 3 log (99.9%) cumulative disinfection per day. The sanitation light is offered with the following bezel finishes: black, white, brown, tan, chrome, brushed nickel or brushed brass.

Far-UV 222 nm light is considered to be eye and skin safe for humans, allowing the lamps to be used in occupied areas safely with minimum risk. The 222 nm wavelength does not penetrate the cornea of the eye and cannot impose corneal impairment. Additionally, this UV band is blocked by the top layer of skin (stratum corneum) which protects underlying cells from damage. Exposure to far-UV 222 nm lamp does not cause skin inflammation or swelling. Due to these safety benefits, extensive protective clothing is not required when using this type of sanitation light in occupied areas.

*Exposure time is based off of total irradiance. The above calculations are based on 12mJ total exposure. This level of exposure deactivates most organisms.

The shorter deactivation time for this product is deemed acceptable. Instead of spot treatment for short deactivation time typically seen with high powered (and harmful) UVC products, this product is designed to stay on constantly. The harmful UVC devices need short deactivation times because they are not safe for human exposure and the environment must be cleared before they are used. When mounted at 8ft or below, this fixture effectively deactiates organisms twice in one hour, and is actively weakening organisms in the air and on surfaces. Airborne organisms will have a higher exposure rate while traveling through the air and closer to the fixture. Typically multiple fixtures have overlap which reduces the exposure time needed. This follows the same guidelines for 3-6 air changes for the HVAC system. For this reason, a shorter deactivation time is deemed acceptable.

Benefits of Excimer Far UV Lamps: When it comes to Far-UV lamps, there are few options in the skin-safe and eye-safe wavelengths. Similar to LED lamps, excimer lamps provide “instant-on” startup, and do not require a warmup period; excimer lamps are at 100% peak output when switched on. Most lamp technologies that do product UVC use mercury in the manufacturing process. Excimer lamps have ZERO mercury, making them more environmentally friendly. Excimer lamps can be tuned to specific wavelengths (222nm wavelength for this product) and produce no harmful UVC radiation or wasteful visible light and infrared light. Excimer lamps are more efficient at converting electricity (input power) into UV irradiance, which reduces the heat output from excimer lamps over other technologies. Fluorescent, amalgam, low-pressure mercury, and high-pressure mercury lamps do not product as tight of a wavelength and generate more heat, both of which wastes energy for the UV sanitation application. Excimer lamps have a higher average UV irradiance per square inch and have a higher photon emission over other lamp technologies. Being safe for use in occupied areas, instant-on power, mercury free, higher UV output, and low heat output make Far-UV excimer lamps the preferred choice for UV sanitation and disinfecting applications.

Mounting: The far-UV sanitation light is compatible with recessed mounting on ceilings. This unit can be secured on existing 6" can lights. When mounted at a height of 8-10 feet, the germicidal UV light covers up to 50-100 square feet of targeted surface. Residual sanitation occurs up to 300 square feet.

Note on Environment: Sunlight and visible light fixtures do not impact the effectiveness of the disinfecting on this UVC sanitation product. Metal halide, high pressure sodium, fluorescent, and LED light fixtures can be left on. The UV radiation emitted from this product is not disrupted by any type of lighting in the environment. Put simply, NO it DOES NOT need to be dark in the area you plan to disinfect. The UV radiation is harmful to the eyes and skin, and that is why you should not be in the area while it is in operation. Please see user manual for additional safety information.

Applications: Sanitation, disinfection, restaurants, retail spaces, lobbies, commercial locations, industrial parks, schools, public transportation hubs, airports, office buildings, medical centers and more; kill 99% of viruses, bacteria, mold and spores.
