LED luminaires that reduce microbes

New lighting. Fewer bacteria in the air.

EV SUN luminaires replace your existing lighting one-for-one. At the same time they reduce bacteria and fungi in the air around the clock: with ordinary white light, without UV and with people present.

How it works

White light activates the coating. The coating cleans the air.

Visible-light photocatalysis: the luminaire supplies the energy, a copper-based nano-coating turns it into reactive oxygen species, and these destroy microbes in the air circulating around the room.

  1. 01 · Light

    White, no UV

    The luminaire emits in the 450–600 nm range. No UV and no violet glow.

  2. 02 · Coating

    Copper nano-coating

    The optical module carries a factory-applied silica glass layer with copper oxide and titanium dioxide.

  3. 03 · Reaction

    Reactive oxygen species

    Thanks to the nano-coating on the optical module, activated by ordinary white light, reactive oxygen species are formed.

  4. 04 · Effect

    Fewer microbes

    Air circulates around the room. The effect builds up: −34% after 6 h, −92% after 24 h. It works throughout the room, not just near the luminaire.

Coating safety

Cleaning the luminaire does not release nanoparticles into the air.
