Hello,
Does anyone have information about the use of germicidal lighting in museums and effects on collections? I learned today that a device known as "Indigo-Clean" is scheduled to be installed in the Museum's classroom. This is a space where specimens (mainly birds, mammals, and vertebrate fossils) are displayed and placed on tables for students to examine during weekly lab sessions. The lights are described as LED Luminaires.
A university engineer provided the following information and links.
" Indigo-Clean operates at 405nm which is just outside of UV range. UV is 100 to 400nm. Please use the link for detailed information on this technology. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-97797-0

I'd appreciate any advice or information!
Thanks and best,
Laura
