The technology
UV-Clear™ is an in-duct UV-C LED system. A dense array of UV-C LEDs is mounted on a heat-sink platform that sits inside the HVAC duct; a controller plate closes the six-inch opening it installs through, and the unit draws from the low-voltage power already running the air handler.
Performance
THE METHOD
As air passes the array, it's dosed with UV-C and the pathogens in it are inactivated, continuously. With no occupant exposure.
under the hood
What makes it possible is a thermal problem most people never see. Every UV-C LED runs hot, and heat is the enemy of semiconductors. The more chips you pack in, the more heat they throw, and the faster they burn out. That's the reason a UV-C LED array dense enough to treat fast-moving air wasn't commercially viable until now.
UV-Clear™'s core invention is a passive cooling approach that uses the moving air itself to carry heat off the array. No fans, no liquid loop, no added energy draw. That approach is what the issued U.S. patent protects.

The Best of Both Worlds
Effective + Efficient.
You can now have both.
Most IAQ upgrades force a choice, better air or lower energy burden. UV-Clear™ doesn't. Directional UV-C output, passive cooling, and zero fan load penalty mean the system that cleans your air is also the one that costs you the least to run.

HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW THE OTHER PRODUCTS?
Ask others how long they run their product before measuring their claimed 99% inactivation, and at what power draw. And did they add PTFE reflective material?
Their response may shock you. If they reply.
PANDEMIC-READY PURIFICATION
Always-on UV-C protection; pathogen-agnostic, continuously working, built for the next threat before it arrives.
SUSTAINABLE
BY DESIGN
No mercury disposal liability. No energy penalty. UV-Clear™ improves indoor air quality without adding to your environmental footprint.
OCCUPANT SAFE.
PATHOGEN LETHAL.
UV-C operates entirely inside the ductwork. Zero exposure risk to occupants, staff, students, or patients. Germicidal by design. Safe by design.
READY FOR TOMORROW
AND BEYOND
Regulators are pushing out Mercury UV-C. UV-Clear™ is mercury-free, regulation-proof, and built for the infrastructure reality that follows.
Built with Nichia
The world's trusted LED maker supplies the light. We supply the platform.
UV-Clear™ is built on UV-C LEDs from Nichia, the world's largest LED manufacturer and the company that commercialized the high-brightness blue LED, the breakthrough behind the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physics. The platform can run any suitable surface-mount UV-C LED, any spectrum, any manufacturer, but Nichia is our current calibration and in-use chip by choice.

Install
Super easy! Drill a 6” opening in existing HVAC ducts. Fasten with provided rivets, attach to existing power. That’s it.
Sustainable + Climate-aligned.
Effective air quality. Energy efficient.
UV-Clear™ inactivates airborne pathogens without mercury, without ozone, and without the energy penalty that filtration and ventilation upgrades introduce. In many configurations it reduces fan load; meaning net energy savings, not added cost. Healthier buildings and lower carbon footprints aren't competing goals. With UV-Clear™, they're the same goal.

Why It Outperforms Mercury
Mercury. Not a Smart Solution.
Mercury fades to half power
Mercury sprays light in every direction
UV-Clear™ points it straight down the duct
UV-Clear™ engineered to hold germicidal effect output for up to 50,000 hours
Mercury UV-C tube lights operate at roughly 30% efficiency. Meaning about 70% of the energy going in is wasted as heat.
They radiate low-intensity UVC light in 360 degrees, so even the UV-C they do produce is largely wasted on the walls of the duct rather than directed into the airstream. Every replacement cycle means downtime, labor, and toxic mercury disposal.
Nichia's own engineers have described directional LED emission as "a massive advantage" over omnidirectional mercury sources. Because every time light has to be redirected toward a target, losses occur. In a duct, those losses compound.
