Antimicrobial Light
Date 9/15/2021
The Antimicrobial Light provides effective illumination and kills 1 viruses, bacteria, fungi, yeasts, mold. This includes killing2 98% of SARS-CoV-2. Additional features include easy installation and wiring, clear polycarbonate lens, bright/dim modes and a compact flush-mount design.
1Testing on a non-enveloped virus (MS2 bacteriophage) showed a 97.12% reduction in controlled laboratory testing in 8 hours on hard surfaces. Testing on SARS-CoV-2 (enveloped virus) showed a 96.76% reduction in controlled laboratory testing in 8 hours on hard surfaces. Testing on MRSA and E. coli showed 90%+ reduction in controlled laboratory testing in 24 hours on hard surfaces.
2Testing on SARS-CoV-2 (enveloped virus) showed a 98.45% reduction in controlled laboratory testing in 4 hours on hard surfaces.
1,2Results may vary depending on the amount of light that is reaching the surfaces in the space where the product is installed and the length of time of exposure. Use of Vyv antimicrobial light is not intended to replace manual cleaning and disinfection practices.

Code 3 Provides Clarity, Protects Kids with Antimicrobial Light
Date 2/17/2022
Code 3 is dedicated to protecting the public and those who serve our communities with industry-leading emergency warning and lighting devices. Through a partnership with Vyv (formerly Vital Vio), Code 3 introduced the Antimicrobial Light for emergency service vehicles, which provides useful white lighting while reducing harmful bacteria and microbes on high-touch surfaces.
Recently, other __[innovative public service organizations](https://denver.cbslocal.com/2020/11/10/denver-buses-lights-coronavirus/)__ began installing Antimicrobial Lights throughout their fleets. As a responsible partner in public safety, Code 3 is committed to transparency and making sure customers have accurate information to make sound decisions for the citizens, first responders, drivers and operators that they support every day.
The Antimicrobial Light is designed to continuously combat a build-up of bacteria, yeast and fungi on high-touch surfaces. Along with other similar products in the market today, it has not been proven to kill or reduce viruses. The devices emit a spectrum of light that is specifically toxic to certain types of bacteria and microbes.

Viruses, such as COVID-19, are biologically dissimilar and resist this type of exposure. Code 3 advises customers to be cautious of any supplier or vendor who claims that their products are “COVID killers.”
The advantage of using Code 3’s Antimicrobial Lights is that they provide an extra layer of protection for public service vehicles that can be in continuous operation without causing harm to citizens or animals. Devices that emit __[ultraviolet radiation](https://www.code3esg.com/us/en/blog/post/antimicrobial-light-compartment-lighting)__ may be harmful after prolonged exposure. Code 3’s lights, which are powered by Vyv’s advanced technology, emit wavelengths within the low-end of the visible spectrum. The Antimicrobial Light provides the best of both worlds to keep drivers and passengers safe in a health-conscious environment.

Code 3’s Antimicrobial Light: An Illuminated Germ Fighter
Date 2/16/2022
Code 3’s Antimicrobial Light is back and ready to fight bacterial growth on high-touch surfaces. Replace patient compartment lights in ambulances and emergency response vehicles with a full complement of __[Antimicrobial Lights](https://www.code3esg.com/us/en/products/compartment-vehicle-lighting/compartment-lighting/antimicrobial-light)__ powered by Vital Vio’s germ-fighting technology.
Code 3’s mission is to keep first responders and the citizens they serve safe with performance optimized lighting and warning solutions. Asserting that commitment, Code 3 teamed up Vital Vio to introduce the Antimicrobial Light. This partnership of engineers and scientists have developed a device that emits useful white light within a spectrum that is safe for humans and animals, but is deadly for common strains of bacteria, fungus and yeast.
### Antimicrobial Light vs. UVC Radiation
Ultraviolet-C radiation can drastically reduce bacteria on high-touch surfaces but, according to the __[Food and Drug Administration (FDA)](https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/coronavirus-covid-19-and-medical-devices/uv-lights-and-lamps-ultraviolet-c-radiation-disinfection-and-coronavirus)__, regularly operating consumer devices and lamps that emit this type of light are not without considerable risk. Just like the harmful effects of sunlight, UVC light can damage skin and eyesight after prolonged exposure. Further, some UVC-emitting products can produce ozone gas, which can irritate airways, making breathing difficult. Although not as critical, ultraviolet light can damage and degrade surfaces over time, particularly plastics and polymer-based materials.
Code 3’s Antimicrobial Light safely emits wavelengths within the visible light spectrum. The operating wavelengths fall into a unique band of visible light that retains similar bacteria-reducing properties found in the ultraviolet spectrum. Specifically, the light activates reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are toxic to many strains of germs and microbes. ROS’s do not have the same effect on humans or animals nor do they negatively affect their cellular structure. Antimicrobial Lights produce effective illumination all day long while providing constant protection.
### Code 3 Has Your Back
From order to install and beyond, Code 3’s mission is to make sure your safety needs and expectations are met. To ensure optimal performance from this advanced technology, Code 3 will work with each customer individually to spec out the vehicle or patient compartment area. With unparalleled customer service and a five year, no-hassle warranty, customers can rely on their complement of Antimicrobial Lights to illuminate while protecting patients and first responders. When lives are on the line, Code 3’s advanced line of emergency warning and lighting products can be trusted to perform whenever and wherever you answer the next call.
