Santa Claus Has New Test For Fake Germicidal UV Light Wand Stocking Stuffers

 Quanta X Technology, the parent company of QuantaDose, CEO Katie Webb suggests, “Anyone in Santa’s shoes gifting a UVC device to a friend or family member needs to make sure the UV-C device is real, and they also need to understand the potential dangers when using a UVC device for disinfecting objects and surfaces. Real UV-C lights aren’t toys made by Santa’s elves as UVC light can damage your eyes in seconds and burn your skin.”

“In fact, UV-C light is a well-known carcinogen, and some UV light devices will produce ozone as a result of 184nm light from the mercury spectrum line escaping a quartz glass tube. Ozone producing UV lights require even more safety precautions that are worth checking twice — to see if your UV products being gifted this holiday season are naughty or nice,” said Webb. According to QuantaDose, “confusion has found the most fertile of breeding grounds as consumers attempt to weigh virus prevention advice coming at them from all directions during the COVID-19 pandemic.“

In this confusion, profits have soared for online retailers like Amazon that offer an almost unlimited selection of sanitizing products. Many devices sold by third-party sellers on these marketplaces make unverified claims regarding UV disinfecting power wavelengths used in these devices for virus protection. As it turns out, there is no shortage of fake UV disinfection products on the market.

The QuantaDose UVC light test card aims to reduce consumer confusion when choosing a real UV-C light solution capable of meeting their cleaning needs. World-class phone support is even available from a toll-free number on the back of the QuantaDose UV-C test card (1-800-713-9004) to help consumers spot fake UVC LEDs and Lamps.

“UV light is a valuable tool providing the UV wavelength, UV power, and UV duration are suitable for the application,” notes John Coates, CTO and senior research scientist at Quanta X Technology.
