The new Integralis technology, developed by Italian lighting manufacturer Artemide, offers an aesthetically pleasing alternative to the often unsightly sanitation lamps that are now a staple of offices and other public spaces. It combines a white light (with specific frequencies that inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi and mold) with UV rays that can eliminate microorganisms, including viruses. The latter is emitted at intervals which are determined by a sensor – while a space is unoccupied, the UV rays become more intense, and vice versa to mitigate the risks of personal UV exposure. Built as an open platform, the technology can be applied to existing lighting products, and activated via a dedicated app.
