UV-C LED technology

uv·life recessed UV-C downlight
Lights and disinfects.

A recessed UV-C downlight that replaces your current downlight and is controlled from the same wall switch. It emits at 260–285 nm, the germicidal peak of DNA (~265 nm), is mercury-free and has a safety sensor that responds to people.

Why the recessed downlight

Lighting and disinfection in a single device

A recessed UV-C downlight that, besides disinfecting, works as ordinary lighting — it directly replaces your current downlight, with no special installation.

265 nm

Germicidal UV-C LED

It emits at 260–285 nm, the absorption peak of microbial DNA: the same dose in mJ/cm² is more effective with lower power consumption.

Safety around people

A military-grade motion sensor (UVC Block 5.8G) switches off the UV-C when people are present and switches it back on once the room is empty.

Direct replacement

It replaces the existing recessed downlight and is controlled from the same wall switch. Four diameters to fit the existing ceiling cut-out.

Certified

Backed by the Chilean Ministry of Health (MINSAL), ISP, SGS and CE. Reduces the microbial load of viruses, bacteria and moulds on exposed surfaces by up to 99%, with a validated dose for each application. 1-year warranty.

Why uv·life

Modern LED vs. mercury tube

Competitors deliver their dose at 254 nm using mercury tubes. The uv·life recessed downlight emits at 260–285 nm, the germicidal peak of DNA (~265 nm): the same dose in mJ/cm² is more effective, mercury-free and directly replaces the existing downlight.

Installation

Two steps, no building work

No special installation or dedicated fixture required.

1

Replace your current downlight

Remove the existing downlight and install the uv·life recessed UV-C LED downlight in the matching diameter.

2

Control it from the wall switch

Done. Switch between manual and automatic mode using the same wall switch in the room. Automatic mode activates disinfection once the room is empty.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions

What area does the recessed UV-C LED downlight disinfect?

Each unit covers a disinfection area of up to 16 m², installed at heights of up to 3 m and with a 90° beam angle. For larger areas, several units are distributed across the ceiling.

Is it safe to have people in the room while it is operating?

The downlight has a built-in UVC Block 5.8G motion sensor, which switches off the UV-C light when people are present and switches it back on once the room is empty. Even so, people, animals and plants should not be exposed directly to UV-C light.

Which diameters are available?

There are four diameters: 140 mm, 174 mm, 184 mm and 215 mm. You choose the one that fits the existing ceiling cut-out, with no additional building work.

How is the recessed UV-C LED downlight installed?

In two steps and with no building work: remove the existing downlight and install the uv·life recessed UV-C LED downlight in the matching diameter. Manual or automatic mode is then controlled from the same wall switch in the room.

How much does the recessed UV-C LED downlight cost?

The reference price is US$119, excluding GST and import customs duty. The delivery time is agreed in the quote.

What wavelength does it emit and why does it matter?

It emits at 260–285 nm, with the germicidal peak of DNA at around 265 nm. This is the point of maximum absorption of microbial DNA, so the same dose in mJ/cm² is more effective, with lower power consumption, than a mercury tube fixed at 254 nm.

Does the downlight contain mercury?

No. It uses solid-state LEDs and is mercury-free, unlike mercury tubes, which are hazardous waste.

Which certifications back the product?

It holds certification from the Chilean Ministry of Health (MINSAL) B32/N°1363, ISP C1502809/20, SGS and CE, is mercury-free and comes with a 1-year warranty.
