What are UV-C medical lights?

You may be questioning how a mere lighting solution can contribute to a sanitised and hygienic space. However, this specific lighting solution range is one of the most effective methods of sanitation.

These units use ultraviolet (UV) light. The ‘C’ in the title refers to the type of ultraviolet light - in this case, it is a short wavelength. The light is specifically used to kill or inactivate microorganisms, bacteria, moulds and pathogens. You know, over and above providing efficient illumination.

The Sani germicidal lights work to deactivate the DNA of bacteria, virus and various other pathogens. This destroys their ability to multiply and cause disease. Simply put; these lights completely disrupt the DNA replication process of various harmful bacterias and pathogens.

An added benefit is that this form of technology is a non-chemical approach to disinfection. This range is also inexpensive, effortless and requires very little maintenance.

This specific range continues to dominate various sectors with its applications namely seen in the medical industry has been used extensively in medical facilities and is often coupled with a filtration system for water purification.

Air Units

Sani manufactures multiple fixtures that tend to air quality.

The aim of the Sani Intercooler and Duct units is to cool down the warm air found in specific facilities. This is to minimise condensation production in the cooling fins. The air then circulates through these coils and reduces the microbial activity and microorganism build-up approximately every 20 minutes.

This is where the Sani Intercooler and Duct units can help reduce and create healthier air quality. The unit is also available in a ceiling wall mount to aid in the sanitation of surfaces.

Applications

Food and beverage industries
Offices or overcrowded areas
Public Bathrooms
Surface sanitation
Gyms
Ceiling Disks

Each Sani Ceiling Disc UV-C emits at a high UV-C intensity at a distance of 1.3m. This ensures coverage of 36m squared. The unit also boasts a somewhat aesthetic appeal with the unit taking on a white powder coating that sits flush with the ceiling, giving you a clean and minimalist and unobtrusive look in any given space.
