What is UVC LED disinfection?
Cleanbox leverages 265 nm UVC LED technology to safely sanitize VR/AR headsets and high‑touch devices. Unlike traditional mercury‑based UV bulbs, LEDs deliver instant, consistent output and don't produce ozone or hazardous waste【217395880830392†L43-L76】. Their compact size allows them to be integrated into sleek devices without the need for warm‑up times or frequent bulb replacements.
UVC LED vs. UV bulbs
UVC LEDs start instantly, have a lifespan of more than 20,000 hours and are highly energy efficient【217395880830392†L59-L83】. Mercury vapor bulbs, by contrast, require warm‑up time, degrade faster and contain hazardous materials that can end up in landfills. UVC LEDs also emit narrow‑band wavelengths targeted at pathogens without generating excessive heat or ozone.
Always follow manufacturer guidelines when using any germicidal UV product. Philips warns that unshielded UV‑C lamps can cause injuries to skin and eyes and should only be used in controlled environments【217395880830392†L87-L96】.
Real‑world applications
Cleanbox’s UVC LED technology ensures safe, chemical‑free disinfection of XR headsets used in healthcare, education, training and entertainment. It’s also ideal for high‑touch devices like microphones, controllers and smart glasses, protecting users across industries【217395880830392†L43-L76】.
“We achieved 99.999% pathogen decontamination in one minute during independent lab tests, outperforming chemical wipes”【694764285899068†L31-L50】.
With rapid cycles and no consumables, Cleanbox solutions reduce waste, cut labour costs and extend device lifespans—delivering a strong return on investment.
