UV-C LED Disinfection in Childcare Facilities

This episode details a pilot study on the effectiveness of UV-C LED technology for disinfection in childcare facilities, aiming to significantly reduce the microbial load without chemicals. Traditional cleaning often leaves a high residual germ load, which calls for additional measures.

Lumitech’s automated UV-C LED disinfector, a ceiling-mounted device, was tested. Combined with standard cleaning it achieved an 87 % reduction in germs overnight, leading to a generally lower risk of infection throughout the day. The study concludes that UV-C LED disinfection offers a proven, safe and highly effective contribution to environmental hygiene, especially in high-traffic environments.

LUMITECH, an LED innovation leader, develops and manufactures state-of-the-art UV-C LED technology (COB as well as SMT) in Austria, with best-in-class UV-C efficiency combined with specific optics, well-considered thermal management and optimised layout and connection technology for UV — such as the UV-C room disinfector used in the field study, which operates autonomously while guaranteeing intrinsically safe operation: an upper-room germicidal system in a familiar design for surface mounting on the ceiling, similar to a smoke detector. https://lumitech.at
