McKnight’s Long-Term Care News has published Energy Focus’ CEO, James Tu’s article “LED lighting’s long-term benefits.”

As the healthcare industry turns to value-based care models, and providers focus on health and wellness goals, incorporating “human-centric lighting (HCL)” in long-term care facilities can create therapeutic environments that increase the safety and well-being of residents and staff. HCL aims to enhance the biological safety, health and emotional well-being of people through an expanding list of advanced capabilities such as flicker-free, dimmable and color tunable or circadian lighting that are now possible through LED lighting and lighting control technologies.

Leveraging and integrating a broad range of rapidly advancing technologies — including LED lighting, UV lighting, electronics, software, sensors, cloud and AI — the Energy Focus UVCD solutions aim to provide impactful and affordable disinfection products for businesses and homes to effectively reduce infection risks. In addition to being ozone-free, the products are designed to guard against the risks of direct human exposure to UV-C rays. abUV™ and nUVo™ include enclosed, self-contained UV-C disinfection units that continuously inactivate viruses while reducing overall pathogen levels in the air. mUVe™ incorporates advanced sensor, machine vision and autonomous technologies to avoid human exposure during disinfection operations.
