The light that cleans.
Beacon uses a specific wavelength of light to safely inactivate viruses, bacteria, and mold right in the room with you. No filter. No chemicals. Just clean air and surfaces, continuously.
What is 222nm Far-UVC light?
Ultraviolet light sits just beyond the visible spectrum. Like all light, it exists across a range of wavelengths — and the wavelength determines everything about how it behaves.
- 222nmThe specific germicidal
and save wavelength. - 10+ yearsof peer-reviewed research from
institutions worldwide. - 100sof independent publications confirming
efficacy and safety.
Safe for people. Deadly to germs.
Conventional 254nm UVC light is only safe in empty rooms. Beacon is different. Powered by advanced 222nm Far-UVC, Beacon safely and continuously cleans your space without interrupting your day.
Blocked by dead skin cells
The stratum corneum is a layer of dead skin cells just 5–20 micrometers thick. It fully absorbs 222nm Far-UVC light before it can reach living tissue.
Blocked by the eye's tear film
The thin tear layer on the surface of the eye absorbs 222nm Far-UVC light before it reaches the cornea, providing a natural layer of protection.
Pathogens have no protection
Viruses are 0.02–0.3 micrometers wide — hundreds of times smaller than a skin cell. There's no protective outer layer so 222nm Far-UVC light passes through, destroying genetic material on contact.
Clinically validated
A 36-month clinical observation study found no adverse effects on human eyes from continuous 222nm Far-UVC exposure. Beacon meets international photobiological safety standards.
Combats drug resistant strains
Beacon is effective against drug resistant superbugs. Because the light physically breaks down their genetic material, pathogens have not been shown to develop a resistance to it the way they do to medications and chemical cleaners.¹
Total room protection.
Beacon fills the breathing zone
Light penetrates pathogen structures
Pathogens are rendered harmless

Independent laboratory and real-world studies confirm Beacon's disinfection efficacy across pathogens, environments, and exposure conditions.
Foundational Lab Testing
These independent tests were conducted to confirm that Beacon's disinfection technology eliminates up to 99.99% of harmful germs.

Better disinfection at a fraction of the cost.
222nm Far-UVC achieves equivalent or superior disinfection performance at a fraction of the energy cost of HVAC - making it one of the most efficiency forms of room disinfection available today.
Up to 10,000-hour bulb life
The bulb is the only consumable. At typical use, it lasts around three years before needing a replacement. When it's time, pop it out and insert a new one. That's it.
No filters to replace
No subscriptions. No monthly filter costs. No remembering when it was last changed. Beacon just runs.
No chemicals or residue
Pure light. Nothing to handle, store, or dispose of. No surface coatings, no chemical smell, no impact on air quality beyond making it cleaner.
Whisper-quiet operation
At under 25 dB, Beacon is as quiet as a library and blends into the background of everyday life. Mount it, plug it in, and forget it's there.
