FAQs

Krypton lighting is appropriate for use in almost any space you would like to protect from airborne or surface pathogens. Far UVC is currently being used in schools, defense applications, hospitals, medical and dental clinics, houses of worship, elderly care facilities, airports, buses, offices, elevators, bathrooms, daycare centers, homeless shelters, hotels, retail, restaurants, gymnasiums, locker rooms, fitness facilities, dining facilities and more. We invite you to contact us to discuss your specific needs. Our company has been providing best in class 222nm whole-room Far UVC Devices, 254 upper-room GUV Lamps, and HEPA solutions for over 30 years. We recommend prioritizing use [...]

The Krypton™ light sanitizes the air it travels through and the surfaces it hits. While it effectively inactivates or kills unwanted pathogens, it does not remove soil or spills from surfaces. As a result, we recommend using Krypton™ lighting as part of a multi-layered sanitation approach, combining it with existing conventional cleaning methods.

There is ample publicly available peer-reviewed literature available. Links for a few of these and other webinars are supplied below from some of the leading subject matter experts in the industry. We add to this list periodically so, don't hesitate to review often: Research Article (Skin Safety Study) – No Evidence of Induced Skin Cancer or Other Skin Abnormalities after Long-Term Chronic Exposure to 222-nm Far-UVC Radiation New York Times – We Have the Technology to Stop Superspreading Without Masks Medical Device News Magazine – Overcoming COVID Fatigue for a Brighter Future Facility Executive – Far UV Light is Significant Tool for Layered Disinfection in [...]

To date, we are unaware of any bacteria, viruses, fungi, or allergens that Far UVC light has not been able to successfully inactivate or kill. Efficacy data confirming 99.9% bioburden reduction or better is available specifically assessing Krypton 222nm Far UVC devices against organisms such as SARS-CoV-2 (the pathogen associated with COVID-19), other coronaviruses or rhinoviruses, influenza, foodborne illnesses caused by E. coli and Salmonella, hospital-acquired infections (HAI) caused by Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA), and even allergens such as pollen, dust mites, and mold (aspergillus niger). The rapidly growing list, including the pathogens and surrogates published by the International Ultraviolet Association [...]

A good overview of Far UV technology, including its efficacy and safety, has been published by Boeing. Far UVC can autonomously and continuously eradicate viruses, bacteria, fungi, and allergens in occupied spaces, which is essential for containing and mitigating the continuous emerging threat of infectious diseases. What makes Far UVC unique from conventional Germicidal UV (GUV) is that its wavelengths often around 222nm, cannot penetrate the outermost nonliving cells in our skin and eyes. This significantly increases the areas we can safely deploy GUV, the most effective countermeasure against the dangerous pathogens often in the air and on surfaces all around [...]
