Continuous Air and Surface Defense Targets a Broad Spectrum of Viruses and Bacteria Including SARS-CoV-2, the Virus That Causes COVID-19
23 September 2020 - - US-based GE Current, a Daintree company, has developed patent pending technology that targets the inactivation of airborne viruses with lighting that is always on, the company said.

These solutions represent a first line of defense that fights a broad spectrum of germs including the SARS-CoV-2 virus around the clock.

As the pandemic lingers on into flu season, there is growing urgency for a rigorous approach to disinfection in buildings, particularly in crowded or densely populated spaces.

Current believes accelerating our return to familiar routines requires solutions that are always on, that can address airborne risks and complement proper mask wearing and manual cleaning of surfaces.

365DisInFx technology leverages a business' existing lighting infrastructure to deliver germicidal ultraviolet light in places where people gather.

Current's patented technology is proven to reduce common pathogens on surfaces, and multiple application tests and end-user pilots are underway.

With products using 365DisInFx technology, Current aims to deliver a "one-two punch" targeting bacteria on surfaces and viruses in the air 365 days a year.

Disinfection lighting traditionally used mercury and excimer lamps that emit high-intensity light or offer limited design flexibility.

Some of these technologies can be harmful for human exposure and to the environment.

365DisInFx technology leverages an innovative UV-LED solution that can be easily tailored and controlled for a broader range of spaces and applications.

Designed with ease of deployment in mind, Current's patent pending viricidal LED light is set to launch this fall in a puck form factor similar to a smoke detector.

Compact and unobtrusive, the new LED product delivers continuous UVC and can be installed on ceilings virtually everywhere.

Current is rapidly scaling its continuous disinfection solutions for hospitals, schools, fitness centers, offices, stores, senior living facilities, any place where every precaution counts.

365DisInFx technology is available in Current's LED luminaires or in standalone devices that can be scaled to suit different environments.

Current draws on the legacy of its founder Thomas Edison and has engineered lighting systems with an unbeatable reputation for quality and performance for over a century.

Current enhances commercial and industrial facilities, cities, greenhouses and all spaces in between with advanced lighting and intelligent controls.
