NEW VIRUS TESTING SHOWS PMC LIGHTING’S pūr-led LIGHTING EFFECTIVE AT KILLING* BACTERIA, MOLD, FUNGI, YEAST NOW INACTIVATES AND KILLS VIRUSES


Warwick, RI — May 13, 2021 — Recent independent test results confirm PMC Lighting’s pūr-led lighting has been proven to effectively kill* viruses. While numerous studies have proven effectiveness of pūr-led, which incorporates Vyv antimicrobial LED technology (400-420nm), to kill* bacteria, mold, fungi, and yeast, there is now validation for successfully killing viruses on surfaces. This newest study confirms effectiveness against non-enveloped viruses, which are the most difficult class of virus to
destroy.

Vyv’s technology, melded with Build-2-Specification pūr-led lighting from PMC Lighting, allows a variety of companies to install customized LED fixtures with a focus on creating inhospitable environments for viruses*, bacteria, fungi, yeasts, and mold. By incorporating this technology into
product offerings, PMC Lighting strengthens their reputation for innovative design, quality craftsmanship and creative adaptability as a true lighting solutions provider.

“We have continually made investments in equipment, people, and processes so that we can be innovative and responsive to the changing needs of our customers,” says PMC Lighting CFO Jason Goldstein. “By incorporating this amazing technology into our product offerings, it allows us to maintain our reputation for innovative design, quality craftsmanship and creative adaptability, further defining our role as a true lighting solutions provider.”

“PMC Lighting began engineering new solutions with Vyv’s antimicrobial light prior to the current pandemic. Together, we’ve been on a path to bring a new class of continuous microbial protection to address the world’s ever-evolving microbial challenges,” said Costello. “The implications are vast
because unlike harmful UV-C light, Vyv’s patented technology can be used continuously and without restriction 24/7 around people, animals and plants.”

Further in-depth information on the recent study results can be found here.

ABOUT VYV

Vyv, a health-tech company, is the creator of a new kind of continuous cleaning protection using visible light. Vyv, formerly Vital Vio, offers proprietary UV-free antimicrobial LED technology that creates environments inhospitable to the growth of viruses, bacteria, fungi, yeast, mold, and mildew. Unlike UV-C light, Vyv meets international standards for continual and unlimited use around people in homes, public places and across industries. As antimicrobial overhead lighting, Vyv can be found in homes, factories, offices, healthcare facilities, transportation and hospitality, and many other places. Vyv technology is also embedded within commercial and consumer products and applications. Vyv holds patents for the world’s first single white light antimicrobial diode. This has driven new and exciting applications for applying Vyv’s violet and white antimicrobial lights to address germ contamination on surfaces. In all, Vyv holds 21 patents with 29 patents pending. For more information, visit www.vyv.tech.


*Testing on a non-enveloped virus (MS2 bacteriophage) showed a 99.985% reduction in  controlled laboratory testing in 6 hours on hard surfaces. 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.

Reminder: LED Technology Update

By | News | No Comments

In Case You Missed It:

LED Technology advancements are an almost everyday occurrence. From new systems available to fill niche needs, to overall performance increases in main-stream lighting, to new and different dimming configurations and protocols to match the most demanding applications, changes are inevitable. PMC Lighting is proud to stay at the forefront of LED Technology, offering LED systems and options that are at the leading offerings in the field.

What We’ve Done

In February,  we announced a complete overhaul of our mainstream white light linear LED systems, taking advantage of greater efficiencies, higher performance in higher CRI LEDs, and larger lumen output ranges from standard products, among other advancements. Many of our fixture model spec sheets have been updated with new choices for lumen outputs, with the remaining to come in the near future.

How it Impacts Orders

The changes made were effective immediately and impacted the majority of the product line for future orders. For orders that were already in production, nothing changed and the order moved forward as originally specified. Any orders placed using our older lumen output options, but are not in production yet, will be upgraded to the next higher lumen output option available from our new system. These outputs can be reviewed on our new Cut Sheets. Customers will enjoy the benefits derived from this next-gen LED system automatically and no further action is needed.

How It Impacts Available Data

With a change of this magnitude, it has rendered current .ies files available from the website out of date. We are working to update all of our files as quickly as possible.

For those in need of this information immediately, our current .ies files are still accurate from a distribution standpoint. By utilizing an existing file and scaling the fixture output in your analysis software to match the new outputs we offer, accurate .ies data can be created.

PMC Lighting is proud to have introduced exciting new fixtures and lines over the past few years, and to continue to do so in years to come. This addition of updated LED options ensures all fixtures from PMC will be operating with cutting edge technology now and in the future.
