LUV Systems Reports Successful Prototype Testing for Low-UVC Indoor Air Disinfection Solution

The halō Model 5R is the first in a planned portfolio of low-UVC disinfection products. The patent-pending system integrates a fan and UVC light ring to capture air from the breathing zone, disinfect it using a controlled UVC dose, and recirculate clean air back into the indoor environment.

Prototype validation testing included smoke visualization and airflow measurements to confirm effective air capture and circulation within the breathing zone. These results support the system’s design objectives and provide a foundation for further performance optimization and product development.

Chief Executive Officer Anu Sood outlined the next phase of development: “Our immediate focus is on spectrometry-based validation in real-world environments and integrating results from ongoing third-party COVID-19 research at Boston University using our Model 5R lamp fixtures. These efforts will further refine our technology and support commercialization readiness.”

Danish Khatri, Principal Engineer at LUV Systems, noted that the system is designed to deliver effective air disinfection without requiring direct UVC exposure to occupants. The halō product line is being developed in multiple configurations to support a range of indoor environments and design requirements.

Neeraj Chaudhary, Business Analyst at LUV Systems, highlighted the broader market opportunity: “Our solutions are designed to meet growing demand for affordable, effective air and surface disinfection across residential, commercial, healthcare, education, retail, entertainment, and transportation sectors.”

The company continues to make progress across key development areas, including patent filings, laboratory research on surface and airborne UVC inactivation of SARS-CoV-2, dose modeling, prototype validation, and manufacturing sourcing. LUV Systems has also developed a proprietary dosing algorithm that correlates surface viral inactivation data with effective indoor air disinfection rates, supporting predictable and scalable performance.

UV disinfection has been used for more than a century in applications such as healthcare, laboratories, and water treatment, underscoring its established efficacy and long-term market relevance.

With successful prototype validation completed, LUV Systems is advancing toward final design optimization and commercialization of its low-UVC air disinfection solutions.
