Sign of the Times: Our Yoga Place Chooses Visible Light Disinfection

Hubbell Lighting recently published an interesting case study for its SpectraClean solution, general lighting that emits a portion of its spectrum in the narrow-band 405 nm for microbial disinfection.

The owners of Our Yoga Place set out to make their 4,300-sq.ft. studio a clean and healthy space. They eventually chose Hubbell’s SpectraClean luminaires. The luminaires can operate in three modes: white light, white/disinfection blend, or all disinfection. The germicidal effects of narrowband visible light work to suppress a wide range of bacteria, molds, fungi, and yeast (it is not proven effective against viruses).

Due to the COVID pandemic, we are currently seeing a trend develop around lighting used for disinfection purposes.
