Introducing PŪR-LED 6LECPL Fixture

By | News | No Comments

PMC Lighting is happy to announce a new addition to the PŪR-LED family. The new 6LECPL is an expansion of the line into a fixture form factor that we hadn’t offered until now.

With the recent news of that our PŪR-LED lighting kills* and stops the growth of viruses including SARS-COV-2 and Influenza-A, this new fixture brings another style option for those wanting to incoporate antimicrobial lighting into their space.

*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.

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.

pūr-led Adds Viruses to Kill* List

By | News | No Comments
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.

pūr-led™ and COVID-19

By | News | No Comments

PMC Lighting has fielded many inquiries regarding our pūr-led™ family and its ability to fight COVID-19 (Coronavirus). Vital Vio hasn’t tested against Coronavirus directly because it is only available in a few labs in the US and not for external testing. That being said viruses don’t contain the molecule activated by the wavelengths in pūr-led™ powered by Vital Vio products. Bacteria, mold, yeast, fungi and spores, which also contribute to widespread illnesses much more frequently, do contain those molecules. Fun fact: often viruses can be transmitted or moved for longer periods of times through these other organisms which Vital Vio technology does kill.

 

Viruses are also more likely to spread through droplets from coughing, sneezing etc. so hygiene is the strongest asset in the fight as we are sure you have been reading. Our products target the germs, with this molecule, that last and lurk on surfaces in every facility we all use in our everyday lives. Overall the importance of deployment of our products is to prevent these types of issues by being ahead of the curve to start with, even though one of the many types of germs are not impacted. We aim to target those ongoing and systemic issues.

 

People are suddenly getting more convinced that prevention is a better approach to germs than epidemic spread which is very aligned with our products continuous approach to germ control.

 

Vital Vio doesn’t have a Coronavirus claim at this point but pūr-led™ powered by Vital Vio products do impact a significant amount of everyday germs that impact us all very frequently on a more regular basis.
