Pūr-led by PMC Lighting Kills* and Stops the Growth of Viruses including SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza-A

By | News | No Comments

In addition to all the efficacy testing Vyv has performed to date on microbes like bacteria, mold, yeast, and fungi, Vyv has recently received results validating the efficacy of its technology against viruses. This independent testing was performed on both non-enveloped and enveloped viruses, including testing specifically on SARS-CoV-2. In addition to Vyv’s testing results, completed by an independent third-party lab, recent academic studies have confirmed the efficacy of 405 nm light (the wavelengths in our pūr-led™ line with Vyv) on enveloped viruses, including SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza A.

We all know the importance of eliminating bacteria, mold, fungi, and viruses. Hospitals, sports arenas, daycares, and airports spend thousands of dollars trying to keep germs and the infections they cause at bay.

The Covid-19 pandemic events of 2020/2021 have shined even more light on how diseases can impact our lives in such a drastic way.

With the cost of treating illnesses caused by bacterial or viral infections on the rise, reducing the growth of germs that cause them has become a top priority. It is clear that current approaches, including intermittent use of chemical sprays and wipes, aren’t enough.  We need additional prevention tools.  And that’s where the 100% UV-Free antimicrobial power of our pūr-led™ line with Vyv can be put to work.

Vyv’s antimicrobial LED technology emits a 100% UV-Free spectrum of light that results in stopping the growth of and killing bacteria, viruses, mold, yeast, and fungi, and meets international standards for continuous and unrestricted use around people, pets and plants in the room. 

The recent testing was performed on both non-enveloped and enveloped viruses and included testing specifically on SARS-CoV-2. The results demonstrated the ability to inactivate these viruses more than 98% within 4 hours on surfaces. In addition to Vyv’s testing results, completed by an independent lab, recent academic studies have confirmed the efficacy of 405nm light (the wavelengths Vyv uses in their products) on enveloped viruses in realistic conditions using varying light intensities.  

Third-Party Testing completed with Vyv Technology:  

*Testing on a non-enveloped virus (MS2 bacteriophage) showed a 97.12% reduction in controlled laboratory testing in 8 hours on hard surfaces. Testing on SARS-CoV-2 (enveloped virus) showed a 96.76% reduction in controlled laboratory testing in 8 hours on hard surfaces. Testing on MRSA and E. coli showed 90%+ reduction in controlled laboratory testing in 24 hours on hard surfaces. Results may vary depending on the amount of light that is reaching the surfaces in the space where the product is installed and the length of time of exposure. Use of Vyv antimicrobial light is not intended to replace manual cleaning and disinfection practices.

PMC Lighting Showcase: The SUNY Albany ‘Palm Trees’ Project

By | News | No Comments

After Upgrades

At PMC Lighting, we are often presented with challenging projects that call for creativity and precise engineering. In fact, our Build-2-Spec projects are known to become some of our favorites. This project at the University at Albany, State University of New York is one that is on our memorable list. It highlights our ability to design and engineer custom fixture solutions combined with our industry-leading lighting technology.

Before Upgrades

First…a little history.The buildings at SUNY Albany were built over the course of several years in the 1970s and were designed with slots cast into the concrete structure.  The buildings have square concrete support columns with four angled slots on each side of the square for a total of 16 slots.  The result looks like a palm tree. The first iteration in the 70s was done with fluorescent fixtures which were then retrofitted later on with newer fluorescent.  With our modern focus on energy efficiency, the University decided it was time to upgrade these fixtures. The challenging part: the fronds are angled on one end and the ceilings are concave…and SUNY Albany has 1,100 of these ‘palm trees’ with 16 fronds each throughout the campus.

Before Upgrades, SUNY Albany Library

How did PMC Lighting learn about this project? During LightFair 2017, held in Philadelphia, PMC’s Larry Crystal  was introduced to Bou Reed from Guth-DeConzo Consulting by David Konarski (Principal, Outside Sales) of Ferrini-Konarski Associates. After some discussions, a rough draft of the work and preliminary drawings were in hand. Later, after several site visits by Larry and PMC Lighting’s Director of Product Engineering Craig Nevers, we presented a true custom solution and won the contract due to the labor savings that our unique design offered.

We are building whole new linear fixtures that fit these concrete slots, with LED lighting, electronic wireless controls for on/off and dimming, and a new lens structure that fits to the curved ceiling and is pulled into place to match the curves which can vary throughout. The fixtures take this into account and can be built to match whatever the particular building presents for sizes.

In these multistory buildings, the palm trees repeat from floor to floor. The building support columns that form the trunk of the trees repeat one on top of the other on all floors. While viewing the building from the outside, you can see stacks of palm trees, not just trees spread over one floor. We continue to work through the campus building by building as we continue their upgrade process. Stay tuned for more updates on this project!
