What are antibacterial LED strips?
Antibacterial LED strips are a modern lighting solution that combines energy-efficient LED technology with special antimicrobial properties.

Mechanism of action of antibacterial LED strips is based on a special protective coating containing active antimicrobial substances. Most often these are silver ionswhich have been known for centuries for their bactericidal properties.
When the surface of the LED strip comes into contact with bacteria, silver ions they penetrate the cell wall of microorganisms, disrupting their metabolic functions and preventing reproduction. Thanks to this, bacteria such as E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus or Salmonella are effectively neutralized in a short time.
Some models of antibacterial LED strips are additionally supported by UV-C light, which is commonly used in medical facilities for disinfection. UV-C radiation effectively destroys the DNA of bacteria, viruses, and fungi, preventing their further development.
