Visible Light & Environmental Disinfection

Visible-Light Disinfection

Continuous Environmental Disinfection

Antimicrobial lighting, known as visible-light disinfection systems are effective in suppressing bacteria, molds, fungi and yeast. Relight USA’s lighting solutions provides continuous environmental disinfection (CED) for use while the space is occupied or unoccupied.

Relight USA’s lighting solutions are effective in the fight against germs like, E. Coli, Listeria, Salmonellla, MRSA and Strep. Antimicrobial lighting accelerates inactivation of biological threats by changing the DNA/RNA structures of various pathogens. This action halts replication and dilutes the pathogen in exposed areas. Viruses such as SARS-COV-2, Coxsackle virus 5 and Influenza are susceptible to visible-light disinfection. Offering solutions to combat viruses and bacteria your business will be able to tell a new story; a story of hope and optimism while not worrying about the next pandemic.

The best part is the lights are safe to work under! The lights utilize white LED light. You’ll never even know the lights are disinfecting when you turn on the light switch.

Differentiate Your Business, Don’t Close It!!!

Visible-light disinfection can make positive impacts in the way schools, daycares, hotels, and many more industries operate. Relight USA highlights two of those industries below:

Healthcare

Continuous visible-light disinfection is non-toxic and is extremely effective. It kills pathogens safely and doesn’t have to be portable. It is also affordable. Most importantly, it is safe. When you turn on the light, you won’t even know disinfection is taking place.

Healthcare Acquired Infections (HAI’s) are the 4th leading cause of death in healthcare facilities in Canada. Besides the traditional prevention and control strategies of hand hygiene, environmental cleaning and infection control surveillance, the built environment can significantly contribute to the reduction of HAI’s.

• For Example:
  The University of New Mexico (UNM) Comprehensive Cancer Center recently replaced traditional light bulbs in its operating rooms with antibacterial LEDs for a visible-light continuous environmental disinfection (CED) system. Research suggests the fixtures can continuously kill harmful bacteria on high-risk surfaces, which should be an improvement over intermittent cleaning. Most pathogens that concerned leaders at the UNM Comprehensive Cancer Center are contact transmissible. They were attracted to a technological solution that promised continuous surface cleaning.
  The visible light disinfection systems kill pathogens through a different process and are not harmful to humans, meaning they can be employed in ways that provide visible-light CED in which people will be exposed to the light.

Food & Beverage

It is estimated that there is an annual economic loss of $77 billion to the food industry from recalls stemming from foodborne illnesses. The magnitude of a foodborne illness outbreaks is staggering. Studies show that outbreak recall costs can exceed $100M to a multi-national business. This includes the direct costs of legal fees, penalties, and the indirect cost of damaged reputation.

Pathogens have many opportunities to contaminate:

• Employee Error
• Ineffective cleaning
• Unacceptable hygiene
• Poor pest control

There are countless variables in the food and beverage industry that can lead to contamination. Call Relight USA today to schedule your free assessment and to learn more about the products and services we provide.
