FAQs
Q: What is LIFX Clean?
A: LIFX Clean works as a standard LIFX smart light – with all of the colors, control and quality you’d expect. But, unlike any other smart light, it also has a high-energy visible (HEV) light setting that kills harmful bacteria. And, unlike UV light, HEV light is only dangerous to bacteria, meaning it won’t harm you, your family or pets.
Q: What is HEV light?
A: High-energy visible (HEV) light is a frequency of light that has a wavelength of 405nm – 450nm and appears blue to the eyes. Because of its destructive effect on bacteria, HEV light can function as a disinfectant. However, it’s safe for humans, pets, and plants.
Q: How long should I turn on the HEV light?
A: How long you set your Clean Cycle to run for will depend on how far the bulb is from whatever you’d like disinfected. For example, a table lamp can disinfect objects such as a keyboard at close range in about 2 hours.
Q: Is UV light dangerous?
A: While UV light is dangerous to your eyes and skin, LIFX Clean uses HEV light, which is safe for you and your household (plants and pets included).
Q: Is it going to increase my electricity bill?
A: LIFX uses light emitting diodes (LEDs) in every bulb. LEDs are currently one of the most energy efficient solutions in the market. The estimated energy use of a LIFX Clean is $1.32 per year (based on 3 hours a day at 11¢/kWh, which is the standard measure of energy/cost by the USA Lighting Facts label calculation parameters)
Q: Do I need to buy multiple, or will just one work?
A: This depends on what you’d like to disinfect and where! If you’d like to use HEV disinfection daily and in multiple rooms in your home, having more than one LIFX Clean is recommended.
Q: Can I set my Clean Cycle up in a Scene?
A: Unfortunately, no. We’ll let you know if this changes in the future.
