Sanitation and UV-C light

In recent years, ÈCLAIRÉ has developed some models of lamps with UV-C light sources with a germicidal effect that represent an effective solution for sanitizing environments.

UV-C ray sanitization devices are used in various areas and mainly in hospitals (medical clinics, clean rooms, veterinary clinics, food and pharmaceutical industries and air conditioning systems.

Ultraviolet UV-C rays are electromagnetic waves with germicidal properties. Their wavelength ranges from 100 to 280 nm and their maximum effectiveness occurs at the wavelength of 265 nm. UV-C rays have a destructive effect on the DNA of bacteria, molds, yeasts and viruses, preventing them from reproducing.

Lighting fixtures with germicidal UV sources are a very efficient tool as an alternative to the use of normal chemical disinfectants and antibiotics which, in addition to causing damage to the human body by coming into direct contact through inhalation or ingestion, are inevitably the cause of environmental pollution.
