Q1. How does Raypure disinfection light work?

Answer: Raypure Disinfection Light works by utilizing antimicrobial light (AML) wavelengths from the visible light spectrum, specifically from the blue region, to target and destroy harmful bacteria and viruses. Unlike harmful UV rays, which can be dangerous to humans, Raypure’s light focuses on wavelengths that interact with the porphyrins in bacteria and pathogens, triggering a photo-catalytic action that generates reactive oxygen species (ROS). These ROS break down the cell walls of bacteria and inactivate viruses by causing oxidative stress to their RNA/DNA and proteins.Raypure’s LED technology integrates these antimicrobial properties into everyday white light, continuously disinfecting the air without the harmful effects of traditional UV lights. This innovation, developed after years of research, provides a safe, effective solution for ambient air disinfection, ensuring both illumination and pathogen control in the same product.

 

Q2. Are there certifications that Raypure disinfection lights works on Covid virus?

Answer: Yes, Raypure Disinfection Lights are certified by India's Apex lab, the CCMB (Centre for Cellular & Molecular Biology), Hyderabad, under CSIR, Ministry of Science & Technology. Testing at the CCMB BSL3 Lab on SARS-CoV-2 showed that Raypure Disinfection Lights caused a 98% reduction in the virus within just 30 to 90 minutes.

​

Q3. Do you have certification that it works on airborne bacteria and other microbials?

Answer: Yes, Raypure lights have been tested by Horizon, a leading Bio-Pharmaceutical lab in Hyderabad, showing a 70-80% reduction in airborne microbial load after just one exposure. These results were replicated using the ‘Settle Plate Method’ at various customer locations. Hospitals, sterile pharma makers, and food processing industries with in-house microbiologists can verify this independently. Raypure’s disinfection mechanism is scientifically established, providing an easy-to-use, low-cost solution for combating airborne bacteria and microbes.

​

Q4. Is Raypure Disinfection Light safe for human beings?

Answer: Raypure is certified as completely safe for humans and all living beings, emitting only visible light without harmful UVA, UVB, UVC or infrared radiation. This certification was confirmed by MS University, Baroda. Additionally, 158 UK-qualified dermatologists from Oliva Skin Clinics in India, who tested Raypure over three months, verified that it has no harmful effect on the skin. Its light targets only microbes, much like how antibiotics selectively destroy bacteria in the human body, making it entirely safe for human use.

​

Q5. What is the life of Raypure disinfection light and how affordable is the cost?

Answer: Raypure Non-UV Disinfection Light LEDs have a lifespan of over 5 years, owing to their durable aluminum structure, high-rated LED chips and proprietary bonding technology. The cost is remarkably affordable, making it an economical solution for continuous disinfection.

​

Q6. How much power does Raypure consume?

Answer: Raypure consumes zero additional power! An 18W Raypure light replaces a conventional 18W light without increasing energy consumption. It provides the added benefit of quietly and invisibly removing infections, making it both energy-efficient and effective.

​

Q7. What wattage do you recommend for a normal household room?

Answer: We recommend starting with the 18W RAYPURE, which reduces ambient microbial load by 70% in a 200 sq. ft. room. It can also sanitize larger spaces with slightly more time.

​

Q8. Will it be effective if the room is larger?

Answer: Yes, Raypure is effective in larger rooms as it sterilizes the air first, which then circulates and reaches all corners, eliminating hidden bacteria. Within 1-3 hours, the air is cleaned, and within 2-4 days, even the hardest-to-reach areas become sterile. We recommend starting with an 18W Raypure light.

​

Q9. Which places will get maximum benefit of Raypure Disinfection Lighting?

Answer: Raypure is ideal for:

•Hospitals: Maintains sterile conditions, reducing infection risks.

Offices: Ensures a healthy workspace, boosts productivity and minimizes quarantine-related absences.

•Schools: 2-4 lights per classroom provide a sterile environment throughout the day.

•Elevators & Corridors: Keeps shared spaces sterile, preventing infection spread.

•Crowded Areas: Effective in restaurants, malls, theatres, hospitals, railway stations and public transport like AC coaches. Raypure creates safe, infection-free spaces in high-traffic and sensitive environments.

​

Q10. How do we use Raypure?

Answer: Hang the 18W Raypure light using the provided hook (requires just one nail near a two-pin socket) at a height of 6-7 feet to avoid glare. Leave it ON for 3-4 hours per room.With a lifespan of over 5 years, Raypure is a long-term investment in health, providing comprehensive protection against microbial infections.

​

Q11. Can I replace all my general lights with Raypure Lights?

Answer: Yes, replacing all lights with Raypure in high-traffic areas like offices, malls and restaurants ensures faster sterilization and continuous protection against fresh pathogens.

​

Q12. How much power does Raypure consume if switched on the whole day?

Answer: Raypure consumes the same power as any standard light. It offers continuous infection control with no extra energy costs compared to regular lighting.

 

Q13. Is it necessary to keep Raypure switched on all day?

Answer: It is not necessary to keep Raypure lights on the whole day. For effective sterilization, we recommend keeping the 18W Raypure light switched on for 3-4 hours per room daily. This duration is sufficient to significantly reduce microbial load and maintain a clean and healthy environment. Keeping it longer can provide additional sterilization especially in hospitals, offices and crowded places.

​

Q14. Why is the brightness of Raypure light not as high as regular lights?

Answer: The brightness of Raypure lights may be slightly lower compared to regular lights, as its primary function is to sterilize the air rather than provide high illumination. However, it still emits a soft light that is sufficient for general use while effectively working on microbial disinfection.

​

Q15. Does using both Raypure and regular lights lead to increased expenses?

Answer: No, using both Raypure and regular lights will not lead to increased expenses. Raypure lights consume the same amount of power as a regular light, so there is no additional energy cost for disinfection. You can replace regular lights with Raypure in areas where sterilization is a priority. In spaces where high brightness is required, you can use a combination of both, ensuring a healthy environment without significantly impacting your energy bills.

 

Q16. Does Raypure lights have long exposure effects?

Answer: Raypure lights do not cause harm with prolonged exposure. Its technology is designed for continuous operation in indoor environments, ensuring safety while effectively reducing pathogens.

 

Q17. Does Raypure help disinfecting surfaces and objects?

Answer: While the primary focus is on air disinfection, using Raypure contributes to reducing pathogens on surfaces and objects within the illuminated area. This approach helps in minimizing cross-infections in settings like hospitals and other indoor spaces.

Q18. Virus does not have porphyrins, then how does Raypure kill them?

Answer: Raypure's disinfection lights utilize specific wavelengths in the far end of the blue light spectrum to target and eliminate germs, bacteria and viruses through photocatalytic action, which is effective against non-mammalian cells. Photodynamic inactivation (PDI) is a process where light-sensitive compounds, such as porphyrins, are activated by specific light wavelengths to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can damage and inactivate pathogens, including viruses. While viruses themselves do not contain porphyrins, exogenous porphyrins can be introduced and, upon light activation, generate ROS that disrupt viral components. Studies have shown that porphyrin-based treatments can lead to the loss of viral envelope proteins, affect viral morphology, and block penetration into host cells. (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)Therefore, Raypure's technology employs a similar mechanism, using specific light wavelengths to activate photocatalytic processes that produce ROS, effectively inactivating viruses and other pathogens in the environment.

​

Q19 Is Raypure effective on animal husbandry and poultry farming?

Answer: In animal husbandry and poultry farming, maintaining a pathogen-free environment is crucial for animal health and productivity. Implementing effective disinfection methods can help reduce the spread of diseases among livestock and poultry. Given Raypure's capability to disinfect indoor spaces, there is potential for its application in these settings.
