Air-Sterilizing Hanging Lights

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The OLEV 'Pure BioAir' Lamp Kills Germs with UV-C Light

— August 25, 2020 — Lifestyle
The need for air purification technology is continuing to increase in many urban areas as citizens seek to keep their living space as clean and fresh as possible, which is seeing products like the OLEV 'Pure BioAir' lamp shift from optional to essential.

The hanging light works by being installed into a living space and will go to work providing crisp illumination thanks to LEDs within. The air purifier components will force air through the system to capture pollutants through the Tillandsia plant and sterilize it thanks to the integrated UV-C light.

The OLEV 'Pure BioAir' lamp has a style-conscious design that is capable of being seamlessly positioned over workstations or perhaps even kitchen countertops to keep pathogens at bay.
