Research has proven that the specific wavelengths of visible light destroy bacteria, mold and fungi cells and therefore prevents their growth. ellumi™ powered by Vital Vio™ antimicrobial LED light technology uses these wavelengths to eliminate microbial buildup, while illuminating your surface with the flip of a switch. The LED Technology used in ellumi™ excites specific targeted molecules found exclusively in microorganisms through photo-activation which overwhelms a microbe by producing Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), causing cell wall damage and death over time. Germs are a pervasive threat in homes, public spaces, and workplaces even after wiping and washing surfaces. Preventing deadly infections caused by the spread of these bacteria and other harmful organisms is a constant and costly battle. ellumi™ can safely and affordably provide continuous antimicrobial action on surfaces in any home, apartment or workspace and is proven to be effective on Strep, Staph/MRSA, E. coli, Salmonella plus many more microbes, which are often found hiding on commonly used surfaces like countertops, cutting boards, tables, desks and more. This technology offers consumers a solution to a major health problem through continuous antimicrobial action and therefore reduced risk of associated illness when used in conjunction with traditional cleaning methods.
