No UV Lighting: No UV Light Under 450nm for Clean Rooms and Production Facilities
Troffers – High Bays – Flush Mount – Linear
In production facilities and clean rooms that handle photosensitive materials, no UV Lighting is not optional; UV exposure is a direct cause of product degradation and failed production runs.
Traditional gold filter tubes were the standard solution. Still, they created their own problems: filter degradation over time allowed UV light to break through, poor color rendering reduced visibility, and flickering disrupted worker comfort and precision.
Access Fixtures No UV - No Light Under 450nm LED luminaires eliminate all of those problems. Dedicated LED technology produces consistent, UV-free output with no filters to degrade, no flicker, and superior color rendering. Four spectrum options are available, including three broader spectra that create a more natural work environment. All products are L70 rated at over 70,000 hours with minimal maintenance requirements.
The modular LED fixture will be ideal for our application. Having a truly off-the-shelf option on these lights is really a huge plus for us, not to mention the tighter wavelength patterns being emitted, and no risk of lens failure.

Why Facilities Are Replacing Gold Filter Tubes with No UV LED Lighting
Gold filter tubes were the industry standard for no-UV clean room lighting for decades. In practice, they introduced as many problems as they solved. Filter degradation created UV breakthrough over time, sometimes ruining entire production batches. The yellow hue reduced visibility and color rendering. Flickering caused eye strain and disrupted precision work. Filter replacement added maintenance costs and downtime.
Access Fixtures No UV No Light Under 450nm LED luminaires replace all of that with dedicated LED technology that produces consistent, UV-free output without any filter. Four spectrum options are available: one equivalent to traditional gold filter output and three broader spectra that expand the visible spectrum and improve conditions for workers. All fixtures are L70 rated at over 70,000 hours and require minimal maintenance.
These fixtures are specified for clean rooms in microprocessor manufacturing, pharmaceutical production, and any application where UV exposure presents a contamination or degradation risk. Browse the full No UV lighting fixture collection.
