Frequently Asked Questions

What is - C light?

It is one of the 3 invisible rays of light given off by the sun. It is a very intense beam of light energy that when focused on germs, viruses and bacteria, at a peak wavelength level of 254 nanometers, will kill them immediately, including COVID-19.

What can UVC lighting do for my restaurant or business?

If you have the right product and it is used properly, it’s totally safe and will sterilize and clean your entire restaurant, including your kitchen, dining room, counters, tables, chairs, etc., or your business, and virtually every item treated, all within one hour. All germs and bacteria will be destroyed on contact and your employees and customers will feel safe and secure.

How does UVC light treatment actually work?

Simply put, the light beams from UVC, which are extremely powerful and intense beams of energy, are so strong that when they hit the bacteria, viruses and germs, it’s scrambles and kills their DNA. This immediately stops them from reproducing. These light rays move at enormous speeds and bounce off of each other so that it covers all areas above and below surfaces.

Is UVC lighting safe to use?

Absolutely yes! It is totally safe. The second you are finished treating your restaurant or business, everything is 100% safe to touch and use. Even food items left out during UVC treatments are 100% safe to eat, although they’re just going to be a touch cleaner but will taste exactly the same. Even items like plants, fish tanks, etc. are 100% safe. The UVC rays will not go through walls or glass either. UVC is currently being used to sanitize and sterilize such places and things as hospitals, buses, trains, planes, hotels, etc., and now restaurants too.

What can UVC lighting sanitize and sterilize in my restaurant or business?

If you are using the right product and it is producing the right amount of UVC, it can clean floors, carpets, walls up to 16 feet tall, tops and bottoms of tables, tops and bottoms of chairs, tops and bottoms of counters, all exposed surfaces including all kitchen equipment, ovens open, fans, silverware, plates and so much more. It will kill up to 99.99% of the germs, viruses and bacteria it comes in contact with.

How long will it take to clean and sanitize my restaurant or business?

The patented Blu Whale product can clean and sanitize approximately 500 ft.² every 10 minutes. So, it can do a 1500 ft.² area in 30 minutes or a 3000 ft.² area in about 60 minutes. The blue whale is the only product on the market today that is specifically designed and built for the needs of the restaurant industry and small businesses. It produces a whopping 1000 Watts of UVC lighting at a peak germicidal kill level of 254 NM. No other product does this and therefore no other product can claim to sanitize and sterilize to a 99.99% level.

How often should I clean my restaurant or business?

We recommend that you clean your restaurant or business once a day. You can do it in the morning the afternoon or in the evening. It doesn’t matter. You can even do it more than once if you feel the need to. There are no residual effects or restrictions on how many treatments you give your restaurant or business.

Is the Blu Whale easy to use?

Absolutely! It comes ready to plug-in and start using. There is no assembly required at all. Once you take it out of the box, just plug it in and you are ready to start sanitizing your restaurant or business.

How do I apply the Blu Whale UVC treatment?

It’s super simple. Start by choosing the first 500 ft.²that you want to treat, then plug in the Blu Whale in that area. Next, you set the timer for 10 minutes and walk out of the room. Then push the start button on the remote that comes with each unit and your off and running. When the remote let you know that the 10 minutes are up, return to the blue whale, move it to the next 500 square-foot area do you want to trade and repeat the process.

What makes the Blu Whale so special?

The patented Blu Whale UVC products were built and designed by the founders of Blu Whale Technologies specifically for the restaurant and small business industries. Their deep and wide understanding of UVC lighting and its germicidal requirements and capability, along with their knowledge and experience in the restaurant industry and within restaurants themselves, is equaled by none. They know what is required in a UVC product to have it produce the results you want it to produce. While there are some good products on the market, there are numerous so-called competitors with other products that produce nothing more than colored lighting and maybe some incremental sanitation benefits. When it comes to UVC lighting, you truly get what you pay for. There are no shortcuts. There is a reason that all the major buyers and users of UVC lighting like the airline industry, public transportation such as buses and trains, now cruise ships, hotels, hospitals and many more just like them are using the best possible products they can. Anything less produces less! It’s that simple. They don’t want to take chances with their people and customers, and we think that you won’t want to either with any of your employees or customers.

What’s the warranty?

The blue whale comes with a five-year warranty and a 10-year life expectancy. You may need to replace the UVC light bulb holder at the end of 10 years and you most definitely will need to replace the lightbulbs themselves. You will also be happy to know that everything regarding the Blu Whale is built, made, serviced and supported here in the USA.
