HOW IT WORKS
We All Share The Same Air
The pandemic has created a heightened awareness of germs, bacteria, and viruses. The WHO, CDC and Health Canada have confirmed COVID-19 transmission is largely through tiny aerosol droplets that linger in the air we breathe – for hours.
UVC Eliminates Pathogens
With the proper use, UVC can efficiently neutralize bacteria and viruses. Germicidal UV (GUV) has been widely used for nearly one hundred years specifically for this purpose. SaniLume has taken this GUV technology to the next level, providing a convenient and attractive solution that can disinfect the air in a 20’ x 20’ area about every 2 minutes. SaniLume is safe to operate while people (including children) are in the space and provides peace of mind to everyone,…

SaniLume is safe to operate while people (including children) are in the space and provides peace of mind to everyone, knowing the air is being continuously treated.
Tried & Tested
The world’s main governing body for lighting (IES) states that “upper room air UVC is by far the most effective way to eliminate airborne pathogens.” With ultra-quiet fans and adjustable apertures to direct the UVC light, SaniLume is the most effective upper-room air GUV on the market.
Create 24/7 air disinfection for common areas, classrooms, resident suites, gyms, offices and more with a simple, quick installation.
Breathe Easier In Shared Spaces
Coronavirus can commonly spread through respiratory droplets of small particles, such as those in aerosols, which are produced even when a person breathes
-Centre for Disease Control (CDC)
Because UVC disinfection kills most recognized pathogenic microorganisms, it can generally be inferred that sterilization and disinfection should minimize the viability of SARS-CoV-19 on surfaces and in the air in confined spaces<br>

Frequently Asked Questions
Does UV light disinfection work?
Commercial upper-room germicidal UV units continuously emit UVC light above people’s heads, inactivating viruses, germs and bacteria. However, their effectiveness depends greatly on how well the room air is mixed with the UVC light.
Does UV-C kill the coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19?
UV disinfection does not technically “kill” viruses, since they are not living organisms. UVC light inactivates virus and bacteria by changing their DNA and RNA, destroying their ability to reproduce. According to Illuminating Engineering Society Report CR-2-20, UVC can effectively inactivate the SARS-CoV-2 virus, if the virus is directly illuminated by UVC at the effective dose level.
What businesses should consider SaniLume?
We suggest it as an added measure of safety for schools, retirement homes, long term care facilities, hospitals, gyms, work site trailers, and offices.
How does upper-room GUV work?
UVC light in the 254 nm spectrum has been used for decades as a scientifically proven method of pathogen disinfection in the upper areas of indoor spaces, above people’s heads. Up to 99% of common pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, mold spores and funguses are systematically eliminated.
Can SaniLume be used in workplaces?
SaniLume has been tested and certified to be below the UV exposure guidelines for an 8-hour day used by nearly all health governing bodies around the world. SaniLume has also been safety certified to UL standards. Care must be taken that the UVC energy fields not be in any line-of-sight conditions of any room occupants.
How do I install SaniLume units?
SaniLume fixtures have a configuration like that of standard pendant light fixtures. The mounting and electrical hookup is essentially the same.
