Ultraviolet Light C (UVC) provides rapid and effective inactivation of micro-organisms (bacteria and viruses) such as SARS, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and influenza virus.
An article published on bbc.com (27th March 2020) explains the difference between the 3 different UV lights and states that:
“Since the finding in 1978, artificially produced UVC has become a staple method of sterilisation – used in hospitals, aeroplanes, offices, and factories every day.”
Researchers are now looking at how UVC affects Covid-19 and while there are no completed studies to date, studies have shown that it can be used against other viruses, such as Sars (see study). The radiation warps the structure of their genetic material and prevents viral particles from making more copies of themselves.
As a result, a concentrated form of UVC is now on the front line in the fight against Covid-19. In China, whole buses are being lit up by the ghostly blue light each night, while squat, UVC-emitting robots have been cleaning floors in hospitals. Banks have even been using the light to disinfect their money."
UVC enables us to provide a healthier environment for our families when 'out and about' and around the home.

I have been using one of these for a while, but recently bought one for my sister in the US. I have been using mine on my mask before and after I go to the shops. I've done a lot of research into UVC lights, and while I am very careful not to get any of the light on my skin or in my eyes, I am really glad I have one to use at home. I've even taken it away on holidays and scanned the pillows and bed cover (which looked very well loved - yuk!)
