How the Clean Light Air Purifier with UV Light Works
The CleanLight Air is a wall-mounted unit that treats grow room air with a 60W UV-C lamp, a particle filter and an ionizer. A fan draws room air through a replaceable 3M high air flow filter that catches dust and particles. The air then passes the enclosed UV-C lamp, which works at a wavelength of 254 nm. That stage targets airborne mould spores, botrytis, powdery mildew, bacteria and viruses. On the way out, the ionizer recharges the air back to natural ion levels. The unit is rated for rooms up to 100 cubic metres, about 3,500 cubic feet. That works out to roughly 437 square feet under an eight foot ceiling. Maximum airflow is 50 cubic metres per hour. The lamp is fully enclosed, so UV-C never reaches anyone in the room and the unit can run around the clock. The housing measures 23.6 x 6.7 x 5.9 in and weighs 3.4 kg. It mounts on a wall with the screws supplied and runs on 120V.
Running an Air Purifier with Ultraviolet Treatment in a Grow Room
Spores floating in the air are what keep re-infecting a canopy, so an air purifier with ultraviolet treatment works on them before they land. Mount the unit on a wall inside the room it serves and leave it running continuously. In a room larger than its rating, add a second unit on the opposite side. Let the room's circulation fans keep air moving past it so more of the volume is treated. A drying room is a strong second location, where fewer spores means cleaner harvested product. The unit is made for indoor and enclosed spaces. Replace the UV-C lamp every 12 months of continuous running, in line with its 9,000 hour life. Change the filter once a year, or sooner if it looks clogged. Unplug the unit before opening it for lamp or filter service. Write the install date on the housing so the next service is easy to track. Keep canopy checks and room sanitation in the routine, since the unit treats the air rather than leaf surfaces.
