LED light is killing bacteria, fungus and mold, and the scientific community has validated the results. Lab researchers, diode fabricators and fixture manufacturers are working to market LEDs that are an effective and safer disinfectant than ultraviolet (UV) light, while also offering a much longer operational life.
What type of light prevents mold?
According to our in-house technical expert, a shortwave ultraviolet light in the range of 280 to 100 nm can help kill mold and prevent its growth. Also, ultraviolet germicidal lamps can destroy bacteria, molds, yeast, and viruses.
What LED light kills bacteria?
The Science. Scientists have known for decades that broad-spectrum UVC light, which has a wavelength of between 200 to 400 nanometers, is highly effective at killing bacteria and viruses by destroying the molecular bonds that hold their DNA together (source).
