VioClean® is an LED sterilization lighting that uses a specific wavelength (405nm) of normal visible light that is completely harmless to the human body to sterilize and inactivate coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and bacteria. Unlike germicidal lights that use ultraviolet (UV-C) irradiation, which require careful attention to the irradiation time and handling, they can be used 24 hours a day and sterilize while being used like regular lighting, even in places where an unspecified number of people come and go.
