ORLANDO, Fla.--()--Today, Lit Thinking announced the launch of Visium, a human-safe, far-UVC device that makes indoor spaces safer and healthier. RSE Ventures in Manhattan is the first office in the country to incorporate Visium technology, inactivating up to 99.9% of airborne pathogens in the areas where the devices are installed. Lit Thinking’s flagship product harnesses the power of human-safe far-UVC light to transform buildings by inactivating bacteria, viruses, and pathogens inside of indoor spaces where the technology is deployed.

Lit Thinking's launch of Visium represents a pivotal moment in the realm of indoor air quality and surface sanitization. Far-UVC technology has long been recognized for its germicidal properties, but Lit Thinking has taken it multiple steps further. Visium continuously harnesses the power of far-UVC light to deactivate airborne pathogens, including viruses like COVID-19, while remaining completely safe for human exposure. With a post-pandemic workforce rapidly returning to in-office routines, the importance of creating healthy indoor environments has never been clearer.

“Visium is not just a product; it's a solution to a pressing global issue. We believe everyone should have access to cleaner and safer indoor air, and Visium is a giant leap toward achieving that vision,” says John Rajchert, CEO, Lit Thinking. “Our product enables constant cleaning of air, while remaining completely safe for long-term exposure.”

As the world faces ongoing challenges related to infectious diseases and indoor air quality, Visium offers a transformative solution that prioritizes safety, cleanliness, and peace of mind for individuals and businesses alike. With Visium, Lit Thinking is leading the charge towards a healthier and safer future for indoor spaces everywhere. Lit Thinking’s Visium 1 Diffused Optics model has achieved UL2998 ZERO OZONE certification. This is an important achievement for a continuously operating far-UVC device and demonstrates our strong commitment to health, safety, and regulatory compliance. The far-UVC technology provides efficient environmental pathogen inactivation, with minimum ozone emission. Independent testing by UL confirms Visium 1 Diffused Optics device produces less than 5ppb of ozone, even less than the ozone level in fresh outside air.

“Every employee deserves to work in the cleanest, safest environment possible which is why we have installed Visium throughout our offices,” said Matt Higgins, Co-Founder, Lit Thinking. “Companies across the country are implementing incentives to try to lure employees back into the office, but there is nothing more important than feeling safe and secure in the air we breathe and Visium provides that.”

Visium’s light-based sanitization technology, consisting of a singular and easy-to-replace Far-UVC lamp module, enhanced by a patented bandpass filter, offers an operational lifespan of 10,000 hours. Designed for ceiling mounting, Visium provides flexible installation options for various environments, including commercial spaces, healthcare facilities, and sports facilities, ensuring clean air and disinfected surfaces. The device is Wi-Fi-enabled, connecting seamlessly to the Lit Thinking App, Lit Thinking’s IoT platform, offering real-time status monitoring, sensor data analysis, and a Safe Air Score. Lit Thinking has taken the guesswork out of Far-UVC sanitization, making the “invisible” visible in real-time.

To further educate the public about the benefits of Far-UVC technology, Lit Thinking has launched Far UVC for Life, serving as a comprehensive resource providing in-depth information about the science behind Far-UVC, its applications, and its role in creating safer indoor environments. This online platform empowers individuals and businesses to make informed decisions about indoor air quality and safety.

The technology has received multiple safety certifications including UL8802 certification for safe continuous operation in occupied spaces, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) certification for adherence to strict air quality standards, and the UL2998 Zero Ozone Emissions certification, all of which underscore our commitment to providing safe, efficient, and eco-friendly solutions in one comprehensive accolade.

Visium features a sleek, timeless design built to complement any building aesthetics. The true value extends beyond the pure germicidal efficacy and into the intelligent software that powers it. Within minutes, Visium silently cleans enclosed spaces at light speed — a feat impossible to achieve with traditional technologies.

This groundbreaking creation has been made possible through seed funding from RSE Ventures, a private investment firm co-founded by real estate magnate and Managing General Partner of the Miami Dolphins, Stephen M. Ross, and Matt Higgins, CEO of RSE Ventures, Guest Shark on ABC’s Shark Tank, and author of Wall Street Journal bestseller, “Burn the Boats”. Lit Thinking was founded in 2022 by visionaries and experts in building technology Stephen Ross, Matt Higgins, and John Rajchert, former Global President, Honeywell Building Solutions, who all shared a common goal: to enhance the quality and safety of indoor environments worldwide, while saving energy.

Lit Thinking was awarded the first Cooperative Research & Development Agreement (CRADA) by the US NAVY to pioneer Far-UVC-based solutions to sanitize confined spaces efficiently, ensuring operational continuity even during pathogen risks. This research holds potential for diverse government and commercial applications, bolstering the nation's resilience in the face of biological challenges.

Lit Thinking invites everyone to be a part of its mission to create safer, healthier, and more productive indoor environments. For more information about Lit Thinking, Visium, and the Far-UVC Alliance, please visit https://www.litthinking.com, or watch this short video.
