UV Lights For Residential Use

December 7, 1999 - UV Light Technology Now Available to Consumers For Home Air Purification

Hilton Head Island, SC - South Carolina-based Enhance-It, LLC recently began marketing two new products which employ ultraviolet (UV) light technology to purify air and eliminate germs in consumers' homes. The technology, long proven to be effective and widely used in a variety of commercial settings, has not been available to consumers for home use until a short time ago.

According to the American Lung Association's research, more than 20% of the U.S. population suffers from allergies related to indoor pollutants. While most home filtration systems capture dirt, dust and pollen, they do not remove allergens from the air.

UV light technology, on the other hand, literally sterilizes microorganisms. Because UV light is absorbed by proteins in microorganisms, it inactivates their DNA and prevents the microorganisms from reproducing. In this manner, the technology sterilizes molds, germs, viruses, bacteria, fungi and spores from the air. These airborne contaminants, known as bioaerosols, can cause a variety of illnesses including cold viruses, staph, strep, influenza, measles, chicken pox and many, many more.

According to Warren Lynn, President of Enhance-It, LLC, "It's a known fact that the ultraviolet component of sunlight is the main reason microbes die in the outdoor air. Duplicating the concept, UV Cleanser disinfectants have been used to sterilize germs located indoors for decades. They've been tested and utilized by companies such as General Electric and Westinghouse. Ever since WW II, UV technology has been employed in healthcare settings, labs, clean rooms, commercial buildings, food processing plants, and other environments where' clean air' is critical. Now we're pleased to make this highly effective technology available to consumers to promote healthier living in their own homes."

Enhance-It's products include Northern Lights® UV Cleanser and Northern Lights® 2000. Northern Lights® UV Cleanser is available for installation in consumers' home HVAC systems for $499.00, including the installation fees of a HVAC certified contractor. It is installed at the cold air return of the heating/air conditioning system and includes a lamp that emits UV light. The UV light eliminates or greatly reduces germs and viruses circulated by the HVAC system and provides coverage up to 5000 square feet.

Northern Lights® 2000 is a portable, in-room unit which can be carried from room to room, used when traveling, taken to the office, etc. It retails for $459.00 and operates on the same principle as the installed product and provides coverage up to 1000 cubic feet.

Neither product utilizes chemicals. Both are proven safe and are ETL certified which meets all federal standards. In addition, both products have the capability to reduce frequent cold symptoms, fatigue, depression, frequent headaches, allergy symptoms, constant snoring, nasal congestion, and irritability.

Each Northern Lights® product is available with the optional Enhanced Ozone generation lamp that reduces odors and smoke. The company also carries replacement UV Germicidal Bulbs, which should be changed every 12 months.

Although Enhance-It's Northern Lights® UV Cleanser has only been on the market for approximately 8 months, it is the #1 seller in its product category in the U.S. , Mr. Lynn stated that the reason behind its success, having sold and installed more than 15,000 units, is primarily due to its economical pricing, ease of installation and full compliance with all federal regulations.

The portable Northern Lights® 2000 is brand new. Mr. Lynn also noted, "As far as we know, Northern Lights® 2000 is the only available portable, in-room unit of its kind on the market that is ETL certified, meeting all federal standards. We're excited that we can now offer consumers a choice of products which allow for flexibility of use."

Enhance-It, LLC was recently established as a company dedicated to discovering and marketing products that enhance quality of life. Mr. Lynn stated that each of the company's products carry a 30-day unconditional money back guarantee and a 1-year warranty. "We are committed to ensuring 100% customer satisfaction on all our products and services," he added.

Warren Lynn, President of Enhance-it, LLC stated, "It would be remiss of our company not to capitalize on the growing popularity of Internet shopping.
