COVID Resources Designed directly into a traditional ceiling light fixture, UV Angel Air is an unobtrusive environmental treatment system that uses ultraviolet light to automatically and continuously treat the air. Using patented UV-C treatment technology, air is quietly drawn into a sealed UV-C air chamber with a series of fans and filters. Air is circulated through the UV-C air chamber, where it is treated with an enclosed high-intensity UV-C light to inactivate bacteria, fungus, and viruses in the air. Treated air is then returned to the room, creating a healthier environment. UV Angel Air is unobtrusive, works continuously and with the in-ceiling design, maintains the valuable floor space in customer and staff areas.
