The system uses far ultraviolet C light for disinfection, which can be tailor-made for usage in different applications such as in lift cabin, bathrooms, toilets or garbage room. The system can irradiate far UVC light when no one is present in the area so that surface and air disinfection can be conducted.
The system can conduct disinfection safely without affecting the normal usage of the area. There is no immediate effect even the light reach human body for a short period of time as there are evidences that the far UVC light will not create the harmful effect on humans as that of the UVC light. It can be best installed in the washroom of the homes for the elderly where clean environment is required to safeguard the health of the elderly.
