Visible Light Disinfection

Using visible light from LEDs, visible light disinfection (VLD) technology is designed to provide functional illumination that is safe for humans, while containing recipes for saturated blue/violet emission that is harmful to germs. It has been commercialized by companies like Kenall Manufacturing (Indigo-Clean) and Vital Vio, Inc., which licenses to Visa Lighting, Evolution Lighting and others.

This article, which I wrote for the August 2019 issue of ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR, explains how the technology works and potential applications.
