Over-bed UV-C air purifying wall unit
A low-profile wall unit designed to sit above a bed — quiet, dimmable, and always on. It gives patient rooms and assisted living bedrooms continuous UV-C air disinfection right where the occupant breathes.

Confidence LED™ Over-Bed FAQs.
Can the over-bed unit run overnight while a patient sleeps?
Yes. The UV-C chamber is sealed, the fans are quiet and adjustable, and the light dims independently of air cleaning — so disinfection continues 24/7 without disturbing sleep.
Does it help with airborne infection in patient rooms?
Placed at the headwall, the unit continuously pulls the air nearest the patient through the germicidal chamber, targeting airborne viruses, bacteria, mold, and fungal spores between HVAC cycles.
Is UV-C safe with people in the room?
Yes. The UV-C LEDs sit inside a sealed internal chamber, so germicidal light never reaches skin or eyes. Only clean air leaves the fixture, which is why the system can run continuously while a room is occupied — unlike UV robots that require an empty room.
Does UV-C kill COVID-19 and other airborne viruses?
UV-C in the 275 nm germicidal range damages the RNA and DNA of airborne pathogens — including coronaviruses such as SARS-CoV-2, along with bacteria, mold, and fungal spores — so they can no longer replicate or cause infection as air passes through the chamber.
How is this different from a HEPA air purifier?
HEPA traps particles in a filter that must be changed and can re-release captured organisms during service. UV-C inactivates pathogens as air passes through, and because the system is built into the ceiling light there is no floor unit, no ductwork, and no filter replacement cycle.
