Ellumi's LEDs use light to kill household germs and mold

What if there was a way to get rid of germs that didn't require scrubbing and elbow grease? That's what lighting company Ellumi says its LED light fixtures can do. Just flip a switch, the company says, and bacteria, fungus and mold don't stand a chance. According to Ellumi, its LEDs not only illuminate their surroundings, they disinfect them too. Ellumi's products use white light, as opposed to ultraviolet (UV) light, which has been used to eliminate nasty microbes for decades. The company says its LEDs rely on proven technology from medical industry startup Vital Vio.
