What is Visible Light Disinfection? A Safer Alternative to UV for Everyday Spaces

At Raypure, we believe that clean, healthy environments shouldn't come at the cost of safety or comfort. With rising concerns around infections and hygiene in shared spaces—homes, hospitals, schools, offices—traditional disinfection methods like UV-C light and chemical fogging bring their own risks. That’s why we developed a solution that’s both effective and people-friendly: Raypure Visible Light Disinfection. This next-generation technology offers continuous microbial protection, even in occupied spaces, with zero harm to people or pets.

What Is Visible Light Disinfection?

Raypure's visible light disinfection uses patented LED-based technology that emits a precise band of safe visible light. This light interacts with naturally occurring molecules called porphyrins inside harmful microbes. When activated, these molecules generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), which break down the structure of bacteria, viruses, and fungi—effectively killing them. Unlike UV-C radiation, which can damage skin, eyes, and materials, Raypure’s visible light is completely safe for 24/7 use around people, pets, and plants.

How It Works: The Raypure Kill Chain

Raypure technology works through a clean, science-backed process:

1. Harmful microorganisms present in the environment absorb Raypure’s specific light wavelength.

2. Their internal porphyrin molecules get activated and produce ROS (reactive oxygen species).

3. ROS rapidly damage the microbe’s outer wall and genetic material, leading to cell death.

   
   

This entire process happens silently and safely as long as the light is on. Independent lab tests, including those conducted at BSL-3 facilities like CCMB and Mount Sinai, have shown up to 95% reduction in airborne viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 within 60 minutes of exposure.

Benefits of Raypure Over UV-C and Chemical Methods

• Human-Safe: Raypure can operate continuously in occupied rooms without any safety risk.

• Chemical-Free: No fumes, no irritants—perfect for homes with children, elderly, or pets.

• Low Maintenance: No consumables or filters. Just plug in and let it work silently.

• Energy-Efficient: Long-lasting LED lights with minimal energy use.

• Dual Functionality: Our units provide both ambient lighting and microbial disinfection.

Scientifically Proven, Clinically Validated

Raypure's technology is backed by top-tier research. Studies at the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) in Hyderabad and Mount Sinai in New York demonstrated significant reductions in pathogens within 60 minutes. Additional testing by Horizon Labs and dermatological safety audits affirm Raypure's performance and safety. These certifications ensure that Raypure is not just safe—it’s effective.

Applications of Raypure Visible Light Disinfection

Raypure systems are designed for seamless use in a variety of spaces:

• Hospitals and Clinics: Continuous protection in wards, ICUs, and outpatient areas.

• Schools and Universities: Keep classrooms and libraries disinfected throughout the day.

• Homes: Create a hygienic environment for families, especially in bedrooms and kitchens.

• Offices and Coworking Spaces: Maintain a sanitized work environment without interrupting productivity.

Things to Consider Before Choosing a Raypure Unit

• Room Size: Raypure offers multiple models. For instance, the 18W unit covers smaller rooms, while our 48W version is ideal for large spaces like conference rooms or clinics.

• Mounting Options: Choose between surface-mounted and wall-bracket designs.

• Operation Time: Most environments see significant disinfection in just 1–4 hours of use.

• Certification: Every Raypure unit is lab-tested and safety-certified.

Conclusion: Let Raypure Light the Way to Safer Spaces

Raypure’s visible light disinfection is changing the way we think about hygiene. With its ability to kill harmful pathogens while being completely safe for everyday use, Raypure is the smarter, safer alternative to UV-C and chemicals. Whether you're protecting your home, workplace, or public space, Raypure ensures that safety never takes a break.
