UVC LED advantage

What is UVC LED?

UVC disinfection harnesses ultraviolet light in the 200–280 nm range to deactivate pathogens. Cleanbox’s patented technology operates at a powerful 265 nm wavelength — the optimum for germicidal efficacy — without damaging fabrics, plastics, lenses or electronics【217395880830392†L43-L76】.

Unlike mercury-based UV bulbs that require a warm‑up period and contain hazardous materials, LEDs emit light instantly and are free of toxic substances. Our systems deliver the right dose every time, ensuring up to 99.999% decontamination in a one‑minute cycle【694764285899068†L31-L50】.

LED vs. Traditional UV Bulbs

Instant & Efficient

Traditional UV bulbs require a 2–10 minute warm‑up to reach full power, consuming energy while inactive. LEDs switch on and off instantly, operating only during treatment cycles and dramatically reducing energy consumption【217395880830392†L59-L83】.

Longevity & Low Maintenance

LEDs last thousands of hours and never need replacement, whereas UV bulbs degrade quickly and must be changed often. Cleanbox devices are designed for years of continuous use without maintenance or bulb swaps, saving time and costs【217395880830392†L59-L76】.

Safety & Materials

LEDs emit a narrow band of light that does not produce ozone or harmful by-products. Traditional bulbs can degrade plastics and fabrics over time. Cleanbox’s LED systems protect your devices while disinfecting them effectively.

Return on Investment

While UVC LED technology has a higher upfront cost, its operating life, energy efficiency and maintenance-free design deliver unmatched ROI over four years or more【217395880830392†L59-L76】. Choose sustainability and long-term savings.

A Word of Caution

According to guidance from Philips Lighting, UVC bulbs present risks when used improperly. Operators should shield their eyes and skin and rely on devices that are tested and certified by third parties【217395880830392†L87-L96】. Cleanbox systems are enclosed and engineered with safety interlocks to protect users while achieving maximum pathogen reduction.

Applications for XR & Beyond

As XR adoption accelerates, rapidly disinfecting headsets between users is critical. Cleanbox UVC LED technology keeps devices germ‑free in training centres, healthcare, education, enterprise, entertainment and more【217395880830392†L101-L116】.

Beyond XR, Cleanbox is ideal for sanitizing controllers, phones, tablets, scanners and any high‑touch tool. Whether in hospitals, factories or classrooms, our solutions deliver peace of mind without chemicals or waste.
