Huge thanks to Zack Deis for contributing his design, which we were then able to build on.
For what it is the price is high, but it does the job and works.
Thoughtful, through packing. It's going to arrive safe. Easy to build, just purchased the recommended parts mentioned in the documentation. Looks nice and unobtrusive. You won't know it is there because it is so quiet. It's great to have the ability to easily swap out parts if they break, without having to replace the whole unit. I doubt that is going to happen anytime soon however since the recommended parts are of high quality. Thanks so much for making this kit available!
Listen to me, even if you know nothing about putting pc towers together or assembling electronics, you can do this.
I have an elderly parent and with not just the rise of COVID but an assortment of respiratory diseases and virus, unwanted to be proactive in preventing a disaster for my father and family. This product came highly recommended and has not disappointed.
It arrived meticulously packaged, better than a lot of parts and components I've ordered from mainstream brands. Plus it looks exactly as depicted in videos and on the website. High quality components and ready to assemble immediately.
You are given everything you need. Just follow the video and/or read the instructions on the website. Done in no time at all, easy to maintain and I've combined this with the CO2 switch sold separately so that I don't need to think about it, everything is automated.
I have a ton of respect for this engineering.
Early in the pandemic, I bought several different HEPA air purifiers and also built a CR box to help my family reduce our chances of contracting COVID-19. However, the CR box was bulky and noisy, and the various HEPA air purifiers all needed proprietary replacement filters.
In early 2024 I learned about the Nukit Tempest, and I decided to order one as soon as they were available.
Shortly thereafter, the Nukit Tempest arrived in a box, and the first thing that I noticed was how meticulously the component pieces were packed in the box. I had separately ordered the six fans, fan grills, and power cord and followed the assembly instructions on the Nukit website to assemble the Tempest. Assembly only required a small Phillips screwdriver and a pair of scissors, and in about an hour I had the Tempest assembled.
Once assembled, I noticed several things about the Tempest. One, it is very quiet. It’s night vs day compared to a CR box. Two, the craftsmanship and material quality are first rate. I expect the Tempest to last for years, if not forever . Third, if a fan, filter, or cable were to need replacing, I could easily manage it thanks to having assembled the Tempest myself and having gained the practical knowledge of how the Tempest is literally put together.
Fast forward to the present. The Tempest is now my favorite air purifier. I’ve since bought five more Tempests, including two for my son’s school classroom. I’m very grateful to Nukit for making the Tempest available.
We needed a nearly-silent purifier for my husband's classroom. He's a computer science teacher and at a quick glance, this looks like a large gaming PC. It took less than an hour to build and looks very sleek—and, most importantly, is very very quiet. He's thrilled with the volume and the complete unobtrusiveness of the unit.
Let customers speak for us
I’m glad to have these torches. I have an infant who is too young for a mask, so UV-C is an important layer of protection.
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!
