Upper air“In our gym, all hygiene and distance regulations according toRIVM1 are implemented. I am convinced our UV-C lamps provide
a valuable contribution to keeping the air in the upper sectionsof our workout spaces disinfected. You work out in a disinfectedroom and we are the first to introduce this in the Netherlands.
I believe that aerosols are a big part of the problem and I want
to be ‘avant-garde’, to be part of the solution. And if the second
wave will arrives, we are ready for it.”

Optimized for low ceiling heights with a minimum of
2.5 meters
The UV-C rays are distributed at device level and above, allowing quiet disinfectionof a large volume of air in the upper areas of a room while business activitycontinues underneath the device’s level. Philips PL-S TUV lamp included: 4x9 W.

Deactivates tested pathogens

Customer challenge

The right lighting‘t Klaslokaal is a gym school based in
Bloemendaal, the Netherlands. When
the COVID-19 pandemic kicked in andthe lockdown was announced, the owner
Toby Timmers had to quickly adapt and thinkof new ways to avoid personal bankruptcy.
Despite all the efforts and adjustments,including aerobics lessons via Zoom andlessons in the parking lot, the business
was suffering. He had to close his exclusive
women’s gym and adapt.

Being an entrepreneur, Timmers reinvented
himself and developed a new concept:
a disinfected gym, where one can easily
exercise at a 1.5 m distance, without worrying
about being too close to others in an indoor
space where the virus can spread. Next toexcellent ventilation he installed four Philips
UV-C disinfection upper air units in his gym,
which are designed to be installed on ceilings
for the disinfection of air in the upper areasof a room in a wide range of applications.2
