About the Nukit Lantern Far-UVC Light:
Far-UVC is a recently discovered form of ultraviolet light that, unlike most UVC, does not penetrate skin or eye surfaces and can be used safely in the presence of humans and animals to disinfect air and exposed surfaces. Far-UVC rapidly kills viruses, bacteria, and fungi, making it one of the most powerful and broadly acting tools ever discovered for reducing the transmission of infectious diseases and allergy symptoms. Pathogens cannot become resistant to it, and none exist that are completely immune to it. Extensive studies have proven Far-UVC safe for humans.
Up until now, Far-UVC installations have cost thousands of dollars per room. Nukit has completely reworked the existing Far-UVC production toolchain and offers high-quality, third-party tested Far-UVC for one-quarter to one-half the price per watt of any competitor- putting this lifesaving technology within reach of ordinary consumers.
The Lantern is Nukit's latest Far-UVC product. Although more full-featured Nukit Far-UVC fixtures are in development, the Lantern is an effective, robust interim solution. It was developed to meet the immediate need for a low-cost, safe, and effective far-UVC emitter for fixed installation in homes and businesses.
Features
Each Nukit Lantern uses a 6-watt, 222nm Far-UVC emitter and a high-quality optical cut filter to block any harmful UV light. The Lantern is powered by 12V DC using a standard 5.5mm x 2.1mm barrel jack and comes with a power supply, international plugs, and five meters of cabling- making placement away from electrical outlets easy and convenient.
Each Nukit Lantern also comes with a state-of-the-art millimeter wave (mmWave) human presence sensor to turn the lights on when you enter the room and off when you leave- to save power and preserve excimer bulb life.
Many Far-UVC fixtures have frustratingly low-quality passive infrared sensors built in that constantly fail to read human presence, turning off the lamps when you need them the most. Millimeter wave (mmWave) is effectively radar, far more sensitive and reliable, and by using it as a separate, optional module, optimal placement to detect room occupants and the longest possible emitter life can be assured.
Don't want detection? No problem. Use it as a remote on-off button- or don't use it at all. You can connect the Nukit Latern directly to any outlet or smart-home management hardware.
The Lantern features a ¼-20 standard tripod socket on the bottom, meaning it can be installed with standard studio hardware wherever needed.
Nukit Lantern Installation Instructions
Proven Effectiveness
Due to variables such as optical cut filter efficiency and size, reflector shape, and emitter gas composition, the output of a Far-UVC lamp cannot accurately be determined from the input power alone. Many manufacturers use questionable math to support their claims with no real-world data.
Pathogen load testing, done by a third-party lab in a sealed chamber, is the only way to truly verify the effectiveness of a given Far-UVC air sanitizing device. Anything else is just guessing and taking the manufacturer's word for it- with no penalties for exaggeration or even outright lying.
To ensure effectiveness, Nukit contracts with a third-party laboratory to test its products in a hermetically sealed chamber against a SARS-CoV-2 analog- showing precisely how effective they will be at their intended use in the real world.
There is no guessing, estimates, or claims without accompanying lab results—just proof.
Modeling:
This Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) model uses the data from the GB/T 18801-2022 Air cleaner Appendix H Virus Removal Rate (Human Coronavirus HCoV-229E) test, and the Nukit Lantern spectral data, to show exactly how four Lanterns mounted in the four upper corners of a room inactivate pathogens in the entire space.
Suggested Use
| 6-Watt Nukit Lanterns in 30m3: | Viral Inactivation % |
| 2 Nukit Lanterns | 74.66% |
| 3 Nukit Lanterns | 83.76% |
| 4 Nukit Lanterns | 89.07% |
| 5 Nukit Lanterns | 94.67% |

Based on this data, we recommend that customers combine Far-UVC with a high-quality air filter like the Nukit Tempest in each room to handle particulates and install one Nukit Lantern per 10 cubic meters (353 cubic feet) of room size.
If you don't have filtration, install at least one Nukit Lantern per 8 cubic meters (282 cubic feet) of room size.
Even if you can't afford a very high level of inactivation, the lower the pathogen load in a room, the lower the chances of infection, and according to current evidence, the less severe that infection will likely be.

Let customers speak for us
I love my Nukit torches. They're very discrete and easy to set up for extra disease mitigation when we need to have a non-family member in the house. I also plan to take them with me on the few times a year I need to travel for work. When it became evident that one of the torches was not holding a charge as long as the other three, Nukit quickly sent a replacement torch.
As someone who is immunocompromised, I have to take extra precautions from contracting airborne viruses, than your average person. Nukit uv-lamps provide protection and are easy to transport to any location. I’ve used Nukit lamps at the dentist and have remained virus free. Thank you for my continued health!
My fiance and I are tying the knot and we are having a small COVID cautious wedding with our dearest & closest. These perfectly complement our other investments in our health & wellbeing, such as nucleic acid testing, nasal sprays, and other mitigation measures. I'm so grateful that we get to be safe on our special day and have a wedding like my fiance has always dreamed of.
I love adding these to my safety measures. My father is on immunosuppressants after a successful heart transplant, and these have played a role in him staying healthy and safe.
These are very well made and packaged; they feel like a premium product and work as advertised. I'm as excited as the krypton dimers in this light!
Be sure to spread the word about this technology. It will be great if these kinds of lamps could be in all sorts of enclosed public spaces where pathogens spread; hospitals, subways, airplanes, convention centers, elevators, bathrooms, classrooms, offices, etc. It would be a huge advancement in the fight against infectious disease. I would also love to have these in the homes of people with immune deficiencies; it would be a significant and cost-effective improvement in their safety and quality of life.
Well made, easy to carry. My colleagues and I work long hours in enclosed rooms where ventilation is not great. Using these torches adds a layer of protection that helps me stay focused on work (alongside a CO2 monitor and CR Box). After a few months of use I bought another set of torches to use in larger rooms. In a world where the majority of people no longer seem to care about Covid, having unobtrusive mitigators such as these torches truly are a life saver. Thank you for making them.
Love the light, thank you so much for making this available to us!
The lanterns arrived quickly and were packed very well. Plug assembly was easy. The extra cord length gave us more options for placement as they aren’t installed so we can bring them to other rooms. We used them when we had my son and daughter over for dinner. Used them along with opened windows, fan for air movement and more than a few air purifiers. We had the torches in the next room as well. Thank you NUKIT for making this technology possible and available to us!
Placed one of these in the bathroom where people use the space unmasked. Comes on with ease and stays on long enough to kill anything in the air after each use. Simple and effective!
Great package, works perfectly, good battery life, small enough to be portable, high quality everywhere, including the bag.
Solid construction. Well packaged. No damage etc. Easy to follow instructions. Everything met or exceeded my exceptions.
Purchased Lanterns to complement our computer fan boxes. Cost wise, each Lantern likely less than the cost of each box and filter set. About the size of an alarm system's motion detector. Shipping was quick. Packaging was solid. Great communication with company as well.
This device keeps my indoor ventilation at just the right amount. Previously, my ventilator would run continously which uses extra electricity and caused extra energy loss and dries wintertime air too much. Now, when occupants are in the house, the ventilator runs and as occupants leave, the ventilator turns off. Simple, great device!
We absolutely adore our set. It makes critical public interactions (medical apptmts) so much safer!.
So easy to carry and deploy. Sorry, no images due to privacy reasons.
