Learn how UVC in the HVAC (AC Duct) can help workers to maintain their health https://osramnlighting.com/uvc-lights-to-improve-healthcare/ Thu, 14 Jan 2021 07:33:45 +0000 https://osramnlighting.com/?p=383 UVC light, which is widely used in a large number of household water purifier services, has another important aspect of air purification in HVAC (Air Duct).

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) is the technology of indoor and vehicular environmental comfort. Its goal is to provide thermal comfort and acceptable indoor air quality. Nowadays, HVAC systems are used anywhere from family homes to offices to factories where they provide the means for environmental comfort. Becoming more and more popular in new construction, these HVAC systems use fresh air from outdoors to provide high-quality indoor air.

As per a report by Air Movement and Control Association International, Inc. in short AMCA  “The UVC wavelength can kill 99 per cent or more of all microorganisms living on HVAC air ducts and evaporator coils, depending on UVC intensity, length of UVC exposure, UVC Light placement, and life cycle of UVC lamp.”

Many factories use the HVAC system to provide respite to workers from the extreme heat and humidity. This HVAC system requires regular cleaning and maintenance. If not cleaned, the HVAC system may become the breeding ground for harmful pollutants such as bacteria, viruses, and fungal spores. These harmful bacteria get accumulated at the HVAC ducts and are released into the environment by the AC vents.

Regular cleaning helps profoundly, but it does not completely kill the bacteria. The best way to eradicate the bacteria is the use of UVC purification. UVC purification is a method of killing harmful pollutants by breaking the cell structure of the bacteria. Once the cell structure is damaged, it stops mutating and vanishes.

According to reports, airborne particles and ergonomic risks account for a substantial part of chronic diseases. A report by WHO says that 4-6% of GDP is affected directly due to work-related health issues for many countries. An initiative by companies can ensure the health safety of workers creating a conducive environment for workers.

A vast section of a country constitutes of workers employed in the informal sectors such as a factory. One of the biggest challenges of working in a factory is the availability of clean air to breathe. The health of factory workers is a prerequisite for the economic expansion of a country. Occupational hazards are a common issue due to health risks such as chemical fumes, dust, heat, etc.

All factory workers need fundamental health care, especially the ones who work in high-risk occupation. Work-related contagious diseases and cardiovascular hazards result in long-term illness if not taken care of in the beginning.  Chronic diseases are one of the most common health issues with factory workers.

OSRAM PURITEC® HNS® UVC germicidal lights emit light at 254 nm, which is very close to the maximum effectiveness, and are ozone-free. The installation of these UVC Lights is not much of an effort as they easily fit in the AHU of the HVAC system. When the air passes through the air ducts of the HVAC system, the UVC Light radiation breaks down the DNA (fundamental building block) of the bacteria’s cell and stops it from multiplying

Application of HNS®UVC Light lamps used in air purification devices for – Hospitals, Doctors’ practices, Offices, Storage rooms, Food processing units, Restaurants, etc.

Magic happens while shooting with right lighting: OSRAM HMI® Lights for Film/ TV https://osramnlighting.com/osram-hmi-lights-for-filmtv/ Wed, 06 Jan 2021 11:48:25 +0000 https://osramnlighting.com/?p=372 Creating a video involves a lot of pre-planning and intricate activities that are essential for the overall performance of the content. These steps may sometimes appear long and complex. These steps may appear unnecessarily long to the layman but are very important for the production. The more time the production team spends on making sure the lighting is correct for the first time saves a lot of time in the editing room. The overall quality of the video or image may be compromised if the light is not correct for the first time or doesn’t match the other aspects of the shoot. Lighting is the most important thing during shooting since it provides the overall theme of the project and this is near to impossible to fix during the editing or post-production.

If the lighting product is available in the market for mass use, it becomes readily available for all kinds of content creators irrespective of the budget. With the proper understanding of the basics and the complexity of the process behind the video creation, the art of creating videos may not seem to be a gigantic task at may appear at first. Understanding the right usage of equipment helps the creator to achieve the desired content with a minimalistic effort.

When a new project is taken into consideration factors such as lighting needs to be taken into account from the outset. Video and image creation is an art that involves understanding various elements that go into making the project. Lighting is among the most important aspect that can not be ignored by any production team. Lighting analogs may appear intimidating but with proper understanding and experience, one can champion them.

Precise lighting in shooting is what pure water in human life. OSRAM HMI® Lights for Film/ TV/OTT shooting https://osramnlighting.com/precise-lighting-in-shooting-is-what-pure-water-in-human-life-osram-hmi-lights-for-film-tv-ott-shooting/ Wed, 16 Dec 2020 09:02:05 +0000 https://osramnlighting.com/?p=352 Creating an appealing and visual video or film requires a whole lot of features. One of the most significant aspects of this process is Cinematography, which is fundamental to this trait. With the help of absolute timing and planning, we can make sure that the final product has a lasting impact. One of the prerequisites of effective cinematography is the use of lighting and understanding the basic ideology behind the same.

The importance of light in video and film production is of prime importance since the cameras can’t respond to light the way human eyes do. The amount of details, contrast, and colours absorbed by a human eye is immensely complex and unique. The cameras are not capable of implementing the same kind of complex processing. Additional lighting is used to make up for the loss of the camera image processing capabilities and to produce the video and image quality as comparable as to the human eye. The higher and excellent quality of the video and film production is backed by the equal quality of lighting behind it.

Behind a successful video or film project, many significant aspects need to be taken into consideration. Some of the most important factors include location, usage of ambient light, changing conditions, shadows, and natural light, and many others. These factors play a crucial role in enhancing the overall quality of the project. Any project is dependent on the light for its execution. Key light, fill light and backlight are quintessential before setting up the rest of the equipment.
