Worn underneath any common face mask, its six UV-C LEDs generate invisible 280 nm wavelength light—the same technology trusted to sterilize hospital instruments—that irradiates germs on the inside nose and mouth portion of a mask worn over the respirator. In tests, UV light in close proximity has been shown to virtually eliminate bacteria after 5 minutes and mold after 20 minutes. (Six visible light LEDs function as an indicator that the mask is operating.) The soft antibacterial silicone conforms to the contours of your face to create a tight, yet comfortable seal and head straps of nylon webbing hold the mask securely in place. Includes two Li-Ion batteries that provide up to three hours of use and recharge in 45 minutes via the included USB cable. LEDs rated for 40,000 hours.
