As the Covid-19 pandemic continues, it becomes utmost important for individuals to stay safe and healthy. Apart from the adoption of hygiene measures, it has been found that the light in the right wavelength is capable of effectively reducing the harmful viruses spreading in the environment. UV-C, which can be found in both the radiation from the Sun or artificially created, is capable of eliminating 99.9 percent of viruses and bacteria on surfaces, in air and drinking water, by inactivating the reproduction process of the bacteria, viruses and fungi.

In fact, UV-C is currently adopted for use in areas that are especially bacteria and virus-prone, which include hospitals, air-conditioning systems or public pools. Additionally, UV-C LEDs are more environmentally friendly and durable options, since they are capable of purifying the impurities without the use of chemicals. With the ease of adjustment of the power for the LEDs, UV-C LEDs are also flexible options that can be utilised for different applications, including air, surface, water and medical treatment.

Therefore, UV-C LED solutions can be something that users can consider adopting in their households in future so as to improve their living environment.
