Futuristic Lighting System Offers COVID Disinfection Capabilities
A lighting company is taking its technology in an unexpected new direction amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Car manufacturer Groupe Renault recently hosted a global hackathon to scout out disinfection solutions for automobiles, and the Israel regional winner was the lighting company Juganu. Juganu (Hindi for “firefly”) is now in discussions with Groupe Renault about how its J.Protect LED lighting fixtures could inactivate pathogens, including SARS-CoV-2, in car cabins.
Founded in 2011, the company gained attention when it introduced a novel streetlight system that doubles as a public Wi-Fi network.
