RE: Ozone light sfety concern

June 14, 2005

An " Ozone light " is one which can make ozone by ultraviolet stimulation of

oxygen. Thus, the ultraviolet radiation is fairly intense. These are

generally used in closed systems, like air ducts, or high on walls, shining

upward with a shield below to protect building occupants from direct

contact. The UV light can be damaging to the eyes, and care should be taken

to keep it away from anyone looking at it. And the ozone it generates can

damage the lungs if you get too close. That issue has been covered many

times already on this board. Remember, if it is strong enough to kill mold

and destroy odors, it is also strong enough to adversely affect higher

living organisms, like us.

HI and all,

These light bulbs kill bad thing by emitting a light that cause bacteria and

mold and odors to self destruct while being safe for humans.

You can get more information at www.ozonelite.com. I found my bulbs at a

local light bulb specialty store. You'd have to call around or order on the

web. The bulbs I bought are by a different company - just ask for titanium

dioxide coated bulbs.

All I can say is that odors like smoking, pet, bathroom odors (like after

you have a Mexican meal) are gone within minutes. Air smells fresh and

clean. Just the other night my dog had the runs and it smelled to high

heaven. I cleaned it of the kitchen floor put a light in there and within 15

minutes - no more icky odor. Even took out the bleach smell my cleaning

product left behind.

Note: The guy at the store told me that a fellow came in and put a bulb in

his teenagers' closet (think smelly gym shoes and socks) and within an hour

all odors were gone. The guy came back and bought 3 more.

Another story is that a woman noticed mold stopped growing on her shower

curtain. I bought one for my friend who reported that within an hour she was

able to breath easier. (And she was a skeptic in the beginning.)

I don't want to sound like a salesman, but if these bulbs help just one

person on this list I'll be happy.

Angelika
