Vortex Safety Lighting announces a strategic alliance with Ushio America

Ushio has agreed to supply Vortex Safety Lighting with its CARE222 UV disinfection module for use in occupied spaces to eradicate coronaviruses, bacteria and influenza from the air and surfaces.

The patented, filtered excimer lamp generates 222nm, far UVC light. The UV experts at Vortex Safety Lighting are vertically integrated to design, engineer and install turnkey systems. Call 847-850-0585 or visit us at www.vortexsafetylighting.com to learn how to add a layer of protection for your employees and customers.

Vortex Safety Lighting plans to incorporate these lamps into a range of products, including ceiling mounted fixtures with built-in UVC/HEPA filters. Many of Vortex Safety Lighting’s disinfection products are configurable and ideal for OEM fixtures, to fit nearly any application.

Results from 7 years of laboratory testing and studies suggest that the filtered far UVC light produced from the CARE222 module can reduce pathogens on surfaces in occupied spaces, without posing a health risk to human eyes or skin when used within specifications. In contrast, the more generally used 254nm UV wavelength germicidal lamps can cause acute and chronic damage to skin and eyes when used in occupied spaces.
