Remember the days before Covid-19, when we wiped desks once a day and deep cleaned our workspaces once a week? Months into the pandemic, normality seems almost out of reach. We disinfect everything from product packaging to door handles and worry about airborne viruses, secondary infections and the omnipresent threat of a second wave.
What if I told you UV lighting could make your life easier?
If that sounds ambiguous, forgive me. The thing is, light can penetrate where cleaning products can't. You can't easily disinfect a curtain or a fabric-covered chair using liquid spray. Still, specific types of light can wipe out organisms quickly without damaging the items in your office. If that sounds too good to be true, read on.
The Trouble With Traditional Options—And the Solution
Until recently, the only available UV lights to kill germs were based on mercury vapor or fluorescent bulb technology. Unfortunately, traditional disinfecting lamps are obtrusive, have to be maintained every 12 months and are very expensive to replace. They can also cause cornea damage, injure skin and bleach textiles—and they have to stay on 24/7, so they'll bump up your commercial electricity bill.
The solution is colorless, odorless and inert: xenon. High-intensity xenon bulbs are far more efficient than low-intensity fluorescent or mercury vapor bulbs, so they disinfect the same area in a fraction of the time.
Superior Energy and Control to the Rescue
Here at Superior Energy and Control, we've partnered with Puro to deliver top-quality disinfectant lighting solutions. The leading manufacturer of germicidal and virucidal lamps, Puro's product repertoire includes the Helo F1, the Helo F2 and the Sentry M4. Whether you need to disinfect an air-handling unit or you want to keep a conference room clean, Puro lights help you sanitize any space.
Puro lights are discreet and work brilliantly in almost any location. Install them in high-traffic areas like corridors to reduce the risk of infection when visitors enter and leave your premises; make them part of your meeting room redesign to keep staff safe during round-table discussions.
Mobile Antivirus Solutions
Hospitals and surgery centers in particular benefit from mobile units like the Sentry M4, which comes equipped with wheels for easy movement from A to B. Powered by Violet Defense technology, the Sentry M4 knocks out more than 99.9% of bacteria, viruses and fungi. Ideal for operating rooms, the Sentry M4 is programmable and works within 15 minutes—so it's a great option between procedures.
Everyone Can Benefit from Puro Technology
Make shared offices safer with Helo F1 and Helo F2 wall-mounted Puro lights. Designed to rapidly disinfect whole rooms, these sleek lights have inbuilt motion sensors, so they don't pulse while people are present. We can suspend either type of light, or we can install lights on the ceiling or on walls to suit your space. Installation options are endless. Helo F1 and F2 lights are compatible with BACnet systems for convenience, but you can also operate each unit manually if you prefer.
In the hospitality business? There is a myriad of ways for you to utilize UV disinfection lighting. Perhaps you run a hotel? You can use one of Puro's mobile units to disinfect rooms post-occupancy. Additionally, you could use it in other areas like janitor closets, break-rooms, or office areas. The uses are endless. Our world is ever-changing. UV lighting is an adaptation that will help you and your business lead the charge.
Schools, restaurants, and fitness centers can benefit from UV disinfectant lighting. Give your employees, students and patrons the peace of mind that they deserve.
