The largest lighting company in the world, means, is a new bulb they claim toEradicate 96% of coronavirus pathogens within three seconds of exposure. And although it may seem too good to be true, after performing his own tests, the researchers at the University of Boston confirm the claim.

"Our test results show that above aSpecific dose of UV-C radiation, the viruses were completely inactivated: "Anthony Griffiths, PhD, Associate Professor of Microbiology at the University of Boston Medicine School, said in a statement. "In a few seconds, we coulddoes not detect any viruses. "

Meaning that the new lighting product can be used to reduce the amount of Covid-19 contagion in the interior areas and that lighting technology can also be produced by other companies.

"We knew that[UV light] was effective against viruses In general, but we did not know if it was the case of COVID-19, so we worked with the University of Boston, "mean the CEOEric Rondolat told CNBCSquawk Box Europe. "We performed the tests many times and the metrics are very interesting."
