Indoor air quality (IAQ) has a direct impact on the health and comfort of building occupants—and the performance of your HVAC systems. For facilities looking to cut down on airborne pathogens and reduce long-term maintenance costs, Lumalier’s AR Series UVC Fixtures are a smart upgrade.

These in-duct fixtures use ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) to keep your system cleaner and more efficient. Installed directly inside the air handling unit, they continuously disinfect coil surfaces and improve airflow by eliminating microbial buildup.

What Makes the AR Series Stand Out?

Lumalier’s AR Series is engineered for performance, reliability, and convenience. Here's a closer look at what makes this UVC system an excellent choice for commercial, institutional, and industrial environments:

Adjustable Rack System – The adjustable rack ensures precise UVC coverage for the coil surface, enhancing disinfection effectiveness and boosting energy efficiency. Whether your AHU is large or small, the modular design adapts to your needs.
High-Intensity UVC Lamps – Each lamp emits UVC light at the 253.7 nm wavelength. It's proven to deactivate bacteria, viruses, and mold spores that circulate in HVAC systems. That means healthier indoor air (and fewer sick days).
Heavy-Duty Construction – Constructed with a boxed I-beam aluminum Unistrut extrusion, the frame can handle more than 2,000 lb./in² of pressure. It’s a rock-solid choice for demanding mechanical rooms and large-scale systems.
Non-Proprietary Components – Unlike some systems that lock you into specific replacement parts, the AR Series uses standard UVC lamps and ballasts, keeping service simple and budget-friendly.

The Benefits of UVC Integration

Investing in the AR Series doesn’t just improve air quality—it delivers a range of operational advantages:

Healthier Indoor Environments – Continuous UVC exposure dramatically reduces airborne pathogens, creating safer environments in schools, healthcare facilities, offices, and more.
Energy Savings – By keeping coils and drain pans free from microbial buildup, UVC fixtures improve heat exchange efficiency, reducing energy consumption and lowering costs.
Extended Equipment Lifespan – By minimizing biofilm buildup, UVC helps reduce wear and tear on coils and components, extending the life of your equipment.
Scalable Solutions – Whether you’re retrofitting an existing system or outfitting a new AHU, the AR Series can be scaled to match a wide range of applications.

Where Can the AR Series Be Used?

Lumalier’s AR Series is a versatile solution that enhances IAQ across multiple industries:

Schools & Universities – Reduces airborne pathogens in classrooms and lecture halls, promoting healthier learning environments.
Hospitals & Healthcare – Helps prevent the spread of airborne diseases in patient rooms, waiting areas, and surgical suites.
Commercial & Office Buildings – Enhances comfort and productivity by maintaining cleaner air in workspaces and meeting rooms.
Industrial Facilities – Controls airborne contaminants in manufacturing plants and processing facilities, ensuring regulatory compliance.
