PURO Lighting

PURO UV Disinfection Lighting was founded by a group of industry veterans in the commercial lighting and controls market. From the very start, our vision has been to discover and use the very latest lighting technology to help protect people’s health and promote wellness wherever they may gather.

Light can both illuminate and protect. It can inactivate viruses, kill bacteria, destroy mold and fungi, all while bringing peace of mind and confidence to people wherever they gather. Every day, we learn more about the beauty, power, disinfecting and restorative nature of light. PURO Lighting is on a journey to put the power of light, in all its wavelengths, to the benefit of all.

We’re making UV systems for AHU’s more energy and cost efficient, easier to maintain, and able to deliver long term value. PURO Lighting has a fast, safe, and effective solution for disinfecting air handling units. A single Helo F1 fixture, powered by Violet Defense® technology, uses a proprietary pulsed Xenon bulb that is lab verified to kill up to 99.9% of pathogens* up to 6.5 ft away. The installation is simple and only requires an electrical outlet.

PURO Lighting’s Helo and Sentry product lines, powered by Violet Defense® technology, represent a significant breakthrough in germicidal protection. PURO Lighting products use a powerful, broad-spectrum light, including germicidal UV-C, UV-B and bactericidal UV-A to optimize their efficiency. UV-C is most traditionally referred to as germicidal UV with the ability to kill bacteria, viruses, mold, and fungi.

PURO Lighting, with patented Violet Defense technology, uses a pulsed xenon light engine that sends out a high-intensity beam of UV along with visible light when it flashes. It’s a full-spectrum UV, so it produces UV-C and UV-B, which are germicidal, and UV-A, which is bactericidal. It even produces bacteria-killing violet blue light. The lenses, made of a UV transmissive polymer, are in direct and immediate contact with a Xenon lamp, allowing significant UV energy transmission, without the fouling that occurs over time with non-UV transmissive lens materials.

UV-A and UV-B light causes oxidation of proteins and lipids causing cell death. Broadband UV lamps have also been shown to inhibit photoreactivation, the process that can result in self-repair of damaged microbes.
