Introducing the DUO 222 Downlight: Integrated Far-UVC Decontamination for Pharma Cleanrooms

In pharmaceutical environments, maintaining product safety and quality is non-negotiable — and it all begins with controlling the unseen. Microbiological contamination poses a serious risk to both patient safety and regulatory compliance, making stringent controls essential in environments like cleanrooms and laboratories. In order to ensure these spaces remain aseptic, compliant, and capable of supporting safe drug production, manufacturers need to leverage in the best continuous decontamination technology possible.

Why Pharmaceutical Cleanrooms Need Far-UVC Integration

The DUO 222 Downlight is a next-generation lighting solution engineered for critical cleanroom environments. Combining high-efficiency LED illumination with integrated Far-UVC (222 nm) decontamination, this dual-function luminaire delivers both optimal lighting and continuous microbial control—seamlessly replacing standard cleanroom fixtures.

Safe, Continuous Decontamination—Even During Operation

As Far-UVC technology safety profile for occupied spaces, the DUO 222 Downlight enables around-the-clock decontamination without interrupting workflows. Seamlessly integrated into your facility, it operates silently in the background—no need to pause production or disrupt daily activities.

Understanding Far-UVC Technology

Far-UVC at 222 nm is a specific wavelength of ultraviolet light known for its germicidal effectiveness against bacteria, viruses, and molds. Unlike conventional UV-C wavelengths (254 nm), Far-UVC at 222 nm can safely inactivate microorganisms continuously in occupied spaces without posing risks to human skin or eyes. This continuous decontamination process significantly reduces microbial presence, thereby enhancing cleanliness and sterility.

Dual Technology, One Fixture

As its name suggests, the DUO 222 Downlight merges two essential functions into one compact, ceiling-mounted unit:

• A central Far-UVC module provides continuous, chemical-free air and surface decontamination, proven effective against bacteria, viruses, and spores.
• Surrounding LED light (4000 K) delivers uniform, flicker-free illumination with a 120° beam angle, fully customizable to meet varying cleanroom lighting specifications.
• Customizable modes: Multiple operating modes including continuous, scheduled duty cycles and motion-activated decontamination for energy optimization. Working with a UV-sensitive product or running a UV-sensitive process? Switch to only LED white illumination at any time and have the decontamination later.

Designed for Cleanrooms – Plug & Play Integration

Purpose-built for cleanrooms up to ISO Class 5 / Grade A-B, the DUO 222 Downlight is compatible across all critical areas—from CNC (Classified Non-Classified) spaces to any aseptic production zones. The fixture installs flushed to the ceiling, ensuring unobstructed airflow and preserving cleanroom integrity.

Designed as a plug-and-play upgrade, the DUO 222 Downlight can directly replace standard cleanroom luminaires without structural modifications. Whether you're retrofitting an existing cleanroom or outfitting a new one, our fixture fits standard ceiling grids and complies with cleanroom sealing requirements. Upgrade to dual-function lighting and disinfection—without downtime, construction, or re-certification delays.

Key Advantages of DUO 222 Downlight in Cleanrooms

• Far-UVC Technology (222 nm): Provides safe, continuous microbial inactivation without harmful UV exposure risks or chemical residues.
• LED Illumination (4000 K): Delivers high-efficiency, flicker-free white light with adjustable lumen output for task-specific lighting levels.
• Programable modes: Independently control Far-UVC and LED lighting. Multiple operating modes including continuous, scheduled duty cycles and motion-activated decontamination for energy optimization.
• Primary Seal System: Designed for easy inspection and replacement every five years to ensure long-term sealing integrity.
• Seamless Ceiling Integration: Flush-mounted design supports various cleanroom ceiling systems while maintaining airflow and hygiene standards.

Maintenance-Friendly Design

The rear module can be accessed and removed via a simple screw-lock system, allowing fast, tool-assisted servicing with minimal disruption to cleanroom operations.

Choose the DUO 222 Downlight for advanced illumination and pathogen control in one integrated solution—delivering sterile performance, energy efficiency, and long-term operational reliability for the most demanding cleanroom environments.
