Before installing UV luminaires, be sure to entrust the lighting design to a professional lighting designer.
The main factors to consider for a proper use of UV sources are:

• radiated power
• exposure time
• distance

For a UV lamp to be effective on spores, germs, bacteria and viruses, the lighting system must be designed so that the above parameters are correctly combined in order to achieve the desired results according to scientific/academic studies and literature.

N.B.: UV dose varies based on the type of microorganism to be eliminated for the deactivation to be effective (see table).
Microorganisms on surfaces that are not directly exposed to UV radiation (hidden or in shadow) will not be eliminated.

Define the dose and time necessary to eliminate pathogens: UV dose is based on intensity and time.
