LEDs Magazine editor Maury Wright talks with Adam Lilien, global business development manager at UL, about the amazing potential of germicidal ultraviolet (UV) technology to fight pathogens including SARS-CoV-2 that causes COVID-19 and about the safety implications of UV-C band radiation at wavelengths below 280 nm. UL has a standard covering installation of fixed UV-C systems for both surface and air disinfection and continues to work on expanding the scope of the organization’s UV-C efforts. Lilien explains the way UL works and details both the current standard and how new uses of UV-C technology can be safely delivered to society and that perform as anticipated in the germicidal role.
