Podcast Episode: UV-C LED Disinfection in Childcare Facilities

This episode details a pilot study on the effectiveness of UV-C LED technology for disinfection in childcare facilities, aiming to significantly reduce microbial load without chemicals.

The article highlights that traditional cleaning often leaves a high residual germ load, necessitating additional measures. Lumitech's automated UV-C LED disinfector, a ceiling-mounted device, was tested, demonstrating that combined with standard cleaning, it achieved a remarkable 87% reduction in germs overnight, leading to a generally lower risk of infection throughout the day. The study concludes that UV-C LED disinfection offers a proven, safe, and highly effective contribution to environmental hygiene, especially in high-traffic environments.

LUMITECH as LED innovation-leader develops and manufactures state of the art UV-C LED-technology (COB as well as SMT) in Austria, with best in class UV-C efficiency combined with specific optics, well considered thermal management, and optimized layout- and connection-technology especially for UV like the UV-C room-disinfector, that was used in the field study described above and which can be used autonomously while guaranteeing intrinsically safe operation. All this as an upper-room germicidal system in a well-known design for surface mounting on the ceiling similar to commonly used smoke detectors.
