Viruses, bacteria, or fungi are often airborne, spreading through breathing, talking, coughing, sneezing, or any activities which generate aerosol particles or droplets. Virus particles remain in the air for extended periods.
Air disinfection with germicidal light is a well-established technology with demonstrated effectiveness against pathogens. Permanent UV-C installations help provide ongoing defense against the spread of viruses in your public areas.
Air disinfection Applications
The upper air disinfection
- Can be continuously disinfected
- With UV-C lighting, even when people are occupying the space.
- Even without forced ventilation, free convection of air causes air movements of about 1.5–8 m3 per minute, thus producing exchanges between the upper treated and lower untreated parts of the room.
- This process significantly reduces air contamination.
Portable UV-C air disinfection
- Integral fans create air circulation, disinfecting the air with UV-C
- In laboratory testing, Signify’s UV-C light sources inactivated 99% of SARS-CoV-2 virus on a surface with an exposure time of 6 seconds

UV-C light has the power to disinfect
Signify and Boston University have validated the effectiveness of our light sources on inactivating the virus that causes COVID-19
In laboratory testing, our UV-C light sources inactivated 99% of SARS-CoV-2 virus on a surface with an exposure time of 6 seconds.1
¹ Tests performed in a lab setting by Boston University using a Signify UV-C light source revealed that a dose of 5mJ/cm² reduced 99% of SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19, in just 6 seconds. Based on the data, it was determined that a dose of 22mJ/cm² will result in a reduction of 99.9999% in 25 seconds. Research variables available upon request.
Surface disinfection
Applications
When someone coughs or exhales, they release droplets of fluid. Most of these droplets fall on nearby surfaces and objects, such as desks, tables or keyboards. Since viruses can live on surfaces such as wood and metal for 4-5 days, other people could become infected by touching contaminated surfaces or objects, then touching their eyes, nose or mouth.

Why use UV-C as a disinfectant?

Classroom/Office/Retails Shops/Saloons
Classroom surfaces, such as student /staff desks, are some of the germiest surfaces in the work spaces
Enhancing housekeeping with UV-C can help to protect staff/students by quickly and effectively disinfecting surfaces and supplies.
A UV-C trolley can inactivate viruses and bacteria on surfaces in direct view. Move the trolley around larger rooms or use two simultaneously to cover large areas, or those out of direct view, such as a bathroom.
Cafeteria/Restaurants
Cafeteria surfaces, such as tables and lunch trays are high contact areas where guest are especially vulnerable due to the ingestion of food and drinks.
Enhancing housekeeping with UV-C can help to protect guest by quickly and effectively disinfecting surfaces and supplies. Move the trolley around larger rooms or use two simultaneously to cover large areas, or those out of direct view, such as a bathroom.
Lobbies & Reception Areas
Lobbies and reception areas carry a high volume of guests and visitors, increasing
the risk of a carrier passing through.
UV-C can be used to for a full disinfection of these areas outside of opening hours, such as overnight, to supplement existing cleaning processes.
Sports and fitness facilities
Gyms/Indoor Sports hall have both high contact equipment and, due to physical activity, have higher levels of aerosol droplets.
UV-C can be used to conduct a full disinfection of these areas outside of opening hours, such as overnight, to supplement existing cleaning processes. In addition, upper air disinfection in high ceiling as well as low ceiling environments can be applied while people are present. As well, UV-C chambers can be used to disinfect small equipment such as dumbbells, matts, etc.
Object disinfection
Applications
Viruses can live on surfaces for up to 5 days, so devices which come into regular contact or are shared between people can provide a higher risk. Sharing these devices carry a risk of surface transmission between students and staff members.
Introducing a disinfection process to your daily cycle of item reuse or recharging helps ensure that viruses and bacteria are inactivated.
Shared devices and personal belongings
Everyday hand-held devices such as tablets and headsets, may be used by many students and staff. Disinfecting them in a regular basis helps prevent the spread of germs.
Personal belongings such as phones, water bottles, headphones and keys may carry germs home if not regulary disinfected.
Supplies
Supplies regularly used by students are often re-used by others. Whereas cleaning these with wipes maybe a hassle, performing UV-C disinfection between classes or daily helps ensure they are ready to use by the next class.
