About the UV-RACK
The Light Progress UV-RACK is a UV-C rack engineered for installation within the end segments of ventilation and air-conditioning systems (RLT), either as a stand-alone unit or as a UV barrier. As air streams past the unit, the UV-C rack continuously sterilises it in real time, reducing microbial germs and helping to prevent the spread of airborne pathogens throughout occupied buildings. For UK facilities managers and building services engineers seeking a proven approach to in-duct air disinfection, the UV-RACK offers a compact, low-maintenance solution designed to integrate with existing plant, well suited to commercial and public-sector environments where continuous air hygiene is a compliance priority.
Continuous in-duct UV-C disinfection for cleaner air
Positioned as a duct UV-C barrier, the UV-RACK exposes the passing air stream to germicidal ultraviolet energy, inactivating bacteria, viruses and mould spores as they move through the system. This continuous action means disinfection is not a periodic intervention but an ongoing process, treating the full volume of air circulating through the ventilation or air-conditioning system. By addressing microbial load at the source within the ductwork, the unit supports healthier indoor air quality across offices, healthcare settings, education facilities and other public buildings, complementing rather than replacing conventional mechanical filtration.
Cleaner plant, lower maintenance and reduced chemical use
Beyond air quality, the UV-RACK delivers tangible operational benefits. By keeping the internal plant clean, it cuts the reliance on chemical cleaning agents and minimises the frequency of replacing closed-mesh filters. It also reduces the need for costly full-system cleaning interventions, helping to lower the total cost of ownership over the life of the installation. For estates teams managing ageing infrastructure, this translates into fewer disruptive maintenance shutdowns and a more predictable servicing schedule, while supporting wider sustainability objectives through reduced chemical consumption.
Compact design and flexible HVAC UV-C retrofit
With compact dimensions and simple device control, the UV-RACK is designed for straightforward integration into existing infrastructure, making it an ideal candidate for HVAC UV-C retrofit projects where space and access are limited. The unit is available in a single-lamp configuration or a battery (multi-lamp) arrangement, allowing specification to be matched to the airflow and duct geometry of the application. The Light Progress UV-RACK is available on a 30-day trial and priced on application, with quotations provided in GBP, EUR or USD.
