Inelektra: UV-C air sterilisers

Inelektra is a Polish electronics company with offices in Warsaw and Toruń. It designs electronic products from the first concept to series production – circuit boards, housings, firmware and certification – for clients and for brands of its own, with lighting and power supplies among its main fields. At Lunares the name stands for germicidal equipment: devices that use UV-C light to clean the air in a room or in a ventilation system.

How a UV-C steriliser works

UV-C is the short-wave band of ultraviolet light, roughly 200–280 nm. Low-pressure lamps emitting at 254 nm damage the genetic material of bacteria, viruses and mould spores, which is why the same technology has long been used to treat drinking water and air. There are two ways to use it. An open UV-C lamp shines straight into the room and may only run when nobody is there, because the light harms skin and eyes. A flow-through steriliser keeps the lamp inside a closed housing and pulls air past it with a fan, so it can work while people and animals are in the room.

Inelektra at Lunares

The Inelektra listing covers a freestanding flow-through UV-C steriliser: a steel column with a 36 W UV-C lamp, a fan with a quiet and a turbo setting, and a dust filter with activated carbon, sized for a room of about 15–20 m². Alongside it sits a UV-C module for air-conditioning and ventilation ducts, chosen for each building after measurements, which treats the air before it reaches the rooms.

What to check before buying

  • Room size and airflow. Compare the room volume with the device's airflow in cubic metres per hour. A unit that moves more air passes the room’s air through more often, but it is usually louder too.
  • Noise. The freestanding steriliser runs at about 33 dB on its quiet setting, which suits a bedroom or a consulting room; turbo mode is noticeably louder.
  • Lamp life. UV-C lamps fade with use long before they stop glowing, so they are replaced by operating hours. Note the rated hours and keep a record.
  • Safety. Never look at a bare UV-C lamp or run an open emitter in an occupied room. Duct modules belong in the hands of a ventilation installer, and a fixed 230 V connection needs a qualified electrician.
