Moderated by NLB Executive Director Randy Reid, the discussion also features Jim Colantoni, Puro Lighting; Kevin Matthews, Signify; and Robert Soler, BIOS Lighting.
The discussion started off with specifying the differences between UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C light. UV-C has the most germicidal effects, the leading reason why UV lighting has become so popular. The experts proceed to discuss the risks and potential hazards of utilizing UV-C technology improperly, which is why correct design and use of UV-C lighting is vital for it to an effective, safe disinfectant solution.
Additional points of discussion include standards and safety certifications that are available for projects that install UV lighting technologies; safety measures, including proper monitoring and controls; and the future of UV disinfection.
