Top 10 Reasons to Buy Air Lights

Top 10 Reasons to Buy Air Lights
When people objectively analyze the technology, efficacy, ease of maintenance, warranty, annual maintenance costs and pricing structure of all the different air purifiers on the market, The Manufacturer of Air Lights comes up the winner 100% of the time.
1.      REALLY CLEANS THE AIR! Air Lights manufacturer Scientific developed PureWave™. PureWave combines the science of ultraviolet germicidal lightwaves, purifying hydroxyl radicals, activated oxygen and photo-ionization. What makes this technology important and unique is that it unites four of the most accepted and powerful methods for destroying (not just filtering) contaminants, with the resulting synergy producing a stronger process than the sum of the individual methods.
2. REMOVES ALLERGENS! Air Lights Air Purifiers remove airborne contaminants from the air we breathe and have a rejuvenating effect when interacting with physiological systems. Scientific studies have shown that atmospheres charged with negative ions attach themselves to airborne particles such as dust, pollen, smoke and dander, and cause them to drop from the air. Air Lights units produce negative ions by means of a patented method that dramatically accelerates the production of negative ions via ultraviolet wavelengths.
3. DESTROYS UNWANTED POLLUTANTS! Germs, viruses, bacteria, mildew, fungi and other pollutants, including mold spores and odors like fish, spoiled food, smoke from fires, cigarettes, cigars and pipes disappear. Air Lights incorporates Ultraviolet (UV) germicidal lamps as part of its four-part air purification technique, which can quickly and effectively destroy any microorganism up to .001 microns that comes in contact with its powerful UV-C rays. The Centers for Disease Control recommends this method for its germicidal propensity.
4. SANITIZES SURFACES AND THE AIR! Ultraviolet light has been used for years by the medical field to sanitize rooms and equipment, and is recognized by the Center for Disease Control for its ability to effectively destroy germs and other biological pollutants. Air Lights brings this technology to home air purification.
5. FAIL-SAFE OZONE REGULATION! Ozone generators have been used for over a hundred years for purification and sanitation purposes. Ozone's properties as a bactericide, viricide, fungicide and deodorizer are well accepted by the scientific community. However, it is also well established that exposure to high levels of ozone can be harmful to health, and in particular can be a respiratory irritant. This has led to a controversy as to the safety of such ozone generators for general public use.
Air Lights has developed a method to ensure safe ozone levels called Safe Zone. It will not allow the accumulation of ozone to exceed recommended, safe levels. It is a fail-safe method that does not rely on electronic gadgetry or inexpensive sensors. As the ozone level in an environment begins to rise, the machine will automatically reduce the amount of ozone being produced, thereby keeping the accumulation at enjoyable low levels.
6. ENERGY EFFICIENT! You can run Air Lights Air Purifiers 24 hours a day because Air Lights Research and Development team has also produced a state-of-the-art electronics module to power the Pure Wave System. This advanced engineered electronics package is a solid-state unit with constant wattage circuitry for greater electrical efficiency and for the support of consistent output and long life. In many instances, however, all that is necessary to rid an environment of pollutants is running the unit part time.
7. SAVES MONEY! When comparing the price of quality air purifiers, the price may seem the same, but there are huge hidden costs. In five years, you could easily spend $2,500 or more on replacement filters and energy costs. Air Lights Air Purifiers save money through its patented Pure Wave technology that doesn't use costly filters that must be replaced and its patented, energy-efficient Safe Volt technology.
8. SILENT OPERATION! There isn't any other air purifier on the market like Air Lights Air Purifiers. Other companies claim that their units are quiet, but there simply are no other air purifiers that circulate air in total silence.
9. NO FILTERS TO REPLACE! You'll never need to buy or change a filter again. There's no other quality air purifier that destroys airborne particulates through its patented Pure Wave technology using Ultraviolet germicidal lightwaves. Simply wipe the UV lamp once in a while and replace the inexpensive UV lamp once every 12 - 15 months.
10. 100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEED! Purchasing an air purifier is a big decision, but it shouldn't be a risky one. At AirLights.com you have a full 30 days to try any Air Lights Air Purifier in your own home or office. We guarantee that if you're not 100% delighted, return it for a complete refund, no questions asked. You judge for yourself whether Air Lights Air Purifiers are the most effective, affordable, best-backed air cleaning products on the market today.

How Air Lights air purifier works

8/28/2008 11:47:00 AM by The Bed Med

 

How does a AirLights 2000 Air Purifier work?

1. The AirLights air purification process begins with a small suction fan.  This fan pulls your
home's contaminated air into the back of the unit.  When your room's dirty air enters the AirLights
2000 Air Purifier it is immediately passed through the Air Purification Chamber where it is exposed
to high intensity ultraviolet light.  That light inside the purification chamber creates a
photo-ionic plasma.  This photonic chemical process creates an invisible cloud of reactive molecules
that go out into your home's atmosphere to eliminate or kill microbiological contamination.

Your Air Lights 2000 Air Purifier will kill or remove:

Germs & Viruses
Bacteria
Allergens
Pet Dander
Cigarette Smoke
Cigar Smoke
Mold Spores
Mildew & Fungi
Odors & Vapors
Chemical Fumes
Asthma Irritants
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's)
Unhealthy toxic gases

2. Outside the Purification Chamber; particulate matter such as pollen, dust and smoke
are Photo-ionically charged thereby removing these particulates from the air within your home.  
By using electrically charged negative ions and photoelectrons which are
emitted by the photo-ionic accelerator, you drop the contamination out of the air.  Never
breathe particulate contamination again!  What's wonderful is that you never have a need
for cleaning or changing filters...  Because there are no filters!  This is a totally filterless system.

4. The Purifying Plasma is blown into your home's atmostphere to do the work outside the
purifier.  Unlike most air purifiers and air filters, harmful contaminants do not have to be brought
into the air purifier to be removed from your indoor air.  Your AirLights's powerful purifying agents
will circulate throughout your home environment seeking out and destroying contamination,
micro-organisms and unpleasant odors regardless of where they hide,
leaving your home or
office smelling and feeling fresh, clean and pure!

AIR LIGHTS 2000 PLASMA AIR PURIFIER OUTPERFORMS COMPETING MODELS COSTING MUCH MORE. GUARANTEED. Just plug it in and in a few hours you can smell the freshness of the air like never before or your Money Back!
Most people take their home's air for granted and assume it is safe, clean and breathable. According to the American Medical Association, 50% of all illness is caused or aggravated by polluted indoor air. Today's homes can contain several Organic contaminants such as bacteria, viruses and mold. Bioaerosols are airborne products which include micro and macro- organisms, their fragments, toxins and waste products. Numerous studies have found high concentrations of such products in both the air handling equipment and the interiors they serve. All of these pollutants can make your air quality less than desirable, may even cause unhealthy effects ranging from allergies to tuberculosis, and are actually the cause of death to an estimated 8.5 million people annually.

When the problem of home indoor air quality became more apparent, ultraviolet technology became the answer to effectively controlling airborne organisms inside our homes. Here are some FACTS FROM THE American Lung Association Health House® Program, March 2003

• Less than 20 percent of Americans believe that the air inside their homes is more polluted than the air outdoors. However, the Environmental Protection Agency states that levels of air pollution inside the home can be two to five times higher — and occasionally up to 100 times higher — than outdoor levels.

• More than 70 percent of Americans have forced air heating and/or central air in their homes. Yet nearly 50 percent do not change the filter in their heating/air conditioning unit every 2 to 3 months as recommended. And 10 percent have never replaced the filter in their heating/air conditioning unit.

• Only about 11 percent of Americans purchase high efficiency furnace filters, despite the fact that high efficiency filters can be more effective than standard fiberglass filters in capturing pollen, pet dander, smoke and other potentially harmful microparticles.

• Nearly 75 percent of Americans live with someone who has allergies, asthma, emphysema or another respiratory illness.

• Indoor air pollution consists of gases, biological contaminants, radon and particulates that can impair your health.

• Many groups are especially susceptible to the health effects of indoor pollutants. These include infants; the very young; pregnant women; the elderly; and those with allergies, asthma and other respiratory ailments. Air Lights™ Air Purifiers - Standard Units for Home and Small Business — Air Lights Purifiers use the scientifically advanced, proprietary process that removes contaminants from air, surfaces and water through the use of its powerful photoplasma method.

In the business environment where there are toxic fumes, this product is INDISPENSIBLE!

Q&A's

4/18/2008 3:53:00 PM by The Bed Med

The BED MED of Sioux Falls                                                                                        Q: Exactly how dangerous are indoor allergens?

A: Without regularly scheduled allergen cleaning, you are inviting, into your living environment, a host of permanent medical problems, including respiratory problems such as asthma and bronchitis as well as other medical problems including: Eczema, dermatitis, perennial rhinitis, sinusitis, and more. Dust mites are the main trigger to stimulate asthma, and asthma is rapidly increasing in the United States. You probably do not fear them for the simple fact that they are so small that you cannot see them with the human eye. They may be microscopic, but they are VERY hazardous to your heath.
 
 
Q:  What are the health benefits of a clean mattress?
 
A:  Everything from a better night's sleep to disease prevention! For a complete list, visit our Health Benefits page.

Q: Specifically, what kinds of indoor allergens are in my bed and in my home?

A: You could be living with, and sleeping with dangerous dust mite feces, fungi, bacteria, viruses, decaying skin, pet dander, spores, mold, and more without even knowing it! These harmful organisms are living in your air, mattress, pillows, mattress top, sheets, furniture, carpet, and more!
 
Q: Can mattress cleaning cure my allergy or asthma? Can it prevent me from getting these?

A: No, it will not cure you because these are life-long diseases. We can, however, reduce symptoms and make your allergies and asthma much better. Many customers have reported having no symptoms after getting regular cleanings. Our cleaning system can not guarantee that allergies or asthma will not develop, but we can guarantee that the likelihood of developing these with our treatments will be severely decreased.

Q: How bad can the infestation of dust mites be?

A: Keep in mind, there could also be dangerous fungi, bacteria, pet dander, mold, and more!  After 10 years, the weight of the average mattress doubles due to dust mite infestation!!!  This includes dead and decaying bodies, and feces.
 
 
Q: Where do dust mites, and other harmful allergens live?

A: Dust mites are the most prevalent in mattresses, but they are still thriving in curtains, pillows, blankets, carpet, clothing, toys, furniture, and more!  We will give you advice on how to eliminate all of these threats. 
 
 
Q: Can I just clean my bed myself?

A: It is impossible to remove all microscopic dust mites without specialized equipment. In fact, cleaning by a non-professional can actually bring your allergens out from where they were hiding and cause even more pollution. We use state of the art, high-tech equipment to do our cleaning. The safest way is to have your mattresses cleaned by professionals, such as The Bed Med. You can take helpful measures to reduce dust mites between cleanings, and we will gladly explain them to you.

Q: Will my sheets and pillow case protect me from dust mites and other dangers?

A: No!! Sheets protect you just as much as laying on a fish net at the beach would protect you from sand. Dust mites come through the sheets. They are microscopic, so they can easily fit through the tiniest of holes in your sheets and pillow cases.

Q: Can't I just buy special allergy free items to help with dust mites, and indoor allergens?

A: First of all, you will also need to purchase special sheets, pillow cases, vacuums, filters, beds, ect...which will cost a lot of money (Hundreds). These items combined will not give you the cleanliness of one of our cleanings. The problem is in the tiny particles from the dust mites that are extremely light-weight and the act of simply "fluffing" a pillow, or rolling over at night while sleeping (this occurs on average 50-60 times per night) cause the particles to become airborne and remain airborne for up to 2 hours while circulating throughout a home and settling on ALL furnishings. This negates the usefulness of dust mite-proof mattress covers and bedding. Also, dust mites and other dangers lurk in your carpet, curtains, furniture, and many other places. In fact, protective sheets, and pillow cases have been proven ineffective by leading scientists, as reported in the New England Journal of Medicine!

Q: Why did I not know about the dangers of indoor allergens, and dust mites, or that I could get my mattress sanitized?

A: The most obvious answer is that you cannot actually see the dangers with the naked eye. The research of the negative effects of dust mites is fairly new. Mattress cleaning has recently become a HUGE phenomenon in Europe, and it will be hitting the United States soon. There were no mattress cleaning services in Europe 12 years ago, and now there are over 4,000!

Q: How dangerous is the air inside my home?

A: According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the air in your home may be 5 to 100 times more polluted than the air outside! The EPA also deemed indoor air pollution as America's number one health concern! According to the AmericanCollege of Allergists, 50% of all illnesses are either caused or aggravated by, polluted indoor air.

Q: Do you use chemicals when you clean?

A: No. It is dry, odorless, all natural, and chemical-free! 100% SAFE!

Q: Will my mattress be wet after cleaning?

A: The third step does include a very light mist of an all natural dust mite inhibitor. The mist is so fine and light that the mattress surface is completely dry within ONLY five to ten minutes and ready for the bed to be made.

Q: How long does it take to clean my mattress? 

A: To create an Allergen Free Room, it may take up to an hour or more. For a King or California King, about 25 minutes. For a Queen, Double, or Futon, about 20 minutes. A Twin, Single, or Crib, about 10 minutes. Pillows require 5 minutes.

Q: How often should I get my bed cleaned?

A: We recommend every 4 months. At the very least, every 6 months. You will receive a free gift if you get your beds cleaned within 6 months of your first cleaning. We value your repeat business!

Q: Will you clean my upholstered furniture?

A: Absolutely, and it is a very good idea to do so. A full length sofa requires 20-30 minutes, a love seat about 15-20 minutes, an armchair about 10-15 minutes.

Q: What can I do to be ready for The Bed Med's arrival?

A: To make the process as quick as possible, please remove sheets, blankets, and pillow cases prior to our arrival. It is recommended that you wash these items before you put them back on your bed after our cleaning so that you do not transfer more dust mites, and other dangerous items to your newly cleaned beds. Do not worry about mattress stains! This is very common and we've seen it all.

Germicidal Ultraviolet UV-C Hygienic MATTRESS & UPHOLSTERY SANITIZING Dust Mite & Allergen Removal

4/18/2008 3:47:00 PM by The Bed Med

Germicidal Ultraviolet UV-C Hygienic MATTRESS & UPHOLSTERY SANITIZING Hygienic Germicidal Ultraviolet UV-C Light to sanitize the Mattress, and Upholstery in your home, business, RV, and much more! How many times have you or a family member awakened from a night’s sleep with itchy skin or red and irritated eyes? Or how about a stuffed up nose, a barrage of sneezes, wheezing or tight chest, painful head or sinus ache, a general feeling of fatigue or even depression, all for no particular reason?

Well, the fact is that you or a member of your family could be one of the 50 million Americans that suffer from some sort of allergy. The odds are the culprit may well be the millions of dust mites that have made a home for themselves in your mattress, and upholstery, that are feeding on dead skin from humans (50,000,000 skin flakes per day) or pets. That’s right, millions of microscopic dust mites that have been medically proved to trigger a whole host of allergic reactions like asthma, bronchitis, eczema and more.

Dust mites produce guanine, a combination of mite droppings and saliva. All the latest medical evidence points to this as the dominant cause of most allergies and other widespread maladies such as asthma, eczema, hay fever, bronchitis, inflammation of the mucous membranes, itchy red eyes, headaches, sinus problems and more!

We Americans spend approximately one third of our lives in bed, moving around frequently. As a result, even the slightest movement causes these harmful microscopic enemies to become airborne for hours, living in the air that we breathe.

Common sense tells us that if we can eliminate the cause, we can eliminate the symptoms. And, if there are any children in the house, medical evidence points to the fact that exposure to these dust mites in the first year of life may very well trigger a lifelong allergy.

At The Bed Med of Sioux Falls, we combine high frequency, pulsating waves with incredible suction generated by a commercial vacuum and Hepa filtration. Then we use a high intensity Ultraviolet UV-C Germicidal Light system to pulverize and extract all the dust mites, bed bugs, lice, scabies, bacteria, viruses, fungal spores, harmful organisms and other sediments that accumulates in your mattress, and upholstery. Finally we mist the entire surface with an Anti-allergen Sanitizing Spray, to prevent reproduction of egg bearing microscopic Dust Mites, Bed Bugs, Scabies, Lice and more.

It’s time to fight back and eliminate the mattress, and upholstery as a health risk. The scientifically proven Hygienic Bed Med Process is a non evasive and totally safe all natural way to disinfect the mattress, upholstery and all fine textiles.

With the recent Bed Bug and invasion this has hit
Sioux Falls and is in the news.

We offer a FREE mattress dust mite allergen test to determine the level of allergens, this is a $29.95 VALUE! (Destination charges may apply)

It’s safe, it’s affordable, it’s simple and it promotes a healthy way of life.

Fact – The vast majority of beds in homes, hotels, assisted living centers etc. are not healthy plac

4/18/2008 3:39:00 PM by The Bed Med

Fact – The vast majority of beds in homes, hotels, assisted living centers etc. are not healthy places to sleep. The reason for this is simple.
 
Every person sheds an average of 4.5 kilograms of skin per year while they are sleeping and leaves an average of 8 litres of sweat in a mattress. This produces the ideal environment for dust mites and bacteria to live and breed.
 
These dust mites leave behind droppings which attract bacteria - all of this combines to create a very unhealthy and highly allergic sleeping environment.

The Problem
People are sleeping in an environment that is very unhealthy and as a result there is a good chance that guests are waking up in the morning with one or more of the following ailments as a result:
 

        
         Stuffy nose                Itchy red eyes
                  Sneezes                    Wheezing or tight chest
                  Headaches                 Sinus pain
          
                  Asthma                      Eczema
                  Hay fever                   Bronchitis
                  Headaches                 Sinus problems
                  Inflammation of the mucus membranes
        
General feeling of fatigue or even depression
 
It takes a clinically developed, scientific and professional application to remove these dust mites. It takesThe Bed Med.

 
How The Process Works
 
A high intensity germicidal UVC light to international standards is applied to the mattress to destroy the dust mites, bed bugs, scabies, lice. The UVC light also kills bacteria, viruses, fungal spores and other harmful organisms. Hygiene Solutions’s mattress cleaning system then combines high frequency pulsating waves and incredible suction to pulverise and extract the now inedible food source and the DNA altered dust mites & their droppings. Finally a coating of a hypoallergenic chemical free spray (developed in the USA for eliminating Dust Mites, Fleas & Bed Bugs – which is FDA approved and certified) is applied to the mattress. The spray is not harmful to fabric and does not saturate the mattress – the mattress is ready for use after just 5 minutes. The sanitising and cleaning process takes 30 minutes per bed, beds are cleaned in the room.

The entire Bed Med process is chemical free and allergen free. There is no noxious odour, and it is safe for any type of mattress, from a cot to a king-size.

dust mites and you

4/15/2008 7:39:00 PM by The Bed Med

It’s important to recognize the healthful benefit of sleeping on hygienic mattresses.

Here are your options.

The very best you could do, or anybody else for that matter, is to hire a professional mattress cleaner that uses the "dry method cleaning process." Unfortunately, there are very few persons in the U.S. that provide this service. Following immediately below are the steps a professional mattress cleaner would perform. BUT, because there are so few mattress cleaners in the U.S., read further down to discover what you can do to clean your own mattress. It won't be as good as a professional, but will still be a huge improvement over not doing anything at all.

A professional mattress cleaning technician using the "dry method cleaning process" (never wet a mattress) will first use a HEPA-rated vacuum cleaner (not just one equipped with HEPA filters) and powerful suction to remove the "contaminants" within a mattress. Knowledgeable technicians know to use an attachment with a beater brush, power nozzle or turbo nozzle, as these attachments cause vibrations..

Secondly, knowledgeable technicians' will bathe the mattress surfaces with a separate, portable UVC light wand that has ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) capabilities. They will apply the UVC light in a grid-like manner and bathe an area approximately 18" x 18" for a full 20 second duration, and so on. This will alter the DNA in all micro-organisms and cause the death of 99.9% of the microbials.

Thirdly, a knowledgeable technician will apply a very light mist of all natural, non-toxic, odorless enzyme cleaner to the mattress surface and pillows. The enzymes will continue to do the work started by the mattress cleaning technician and thwart future growth of dust mite colonies, mold, mildew, spores, fungi, bacteria and viruses, until the next service date. Depending on the needs of the home occupants, a follow-up service should be scheduled every 6 months, 4 months for a home with an allergy sufferer, 3 months for a home with an asthmatic. Consider the number of indoor pets also.

BUT because there are so few professionals...use the next best option.

On a day forecasted to be bright and sunny with no rain in the forecast, take your mattress (and the the others) outside early in the morning and beat the crap out them. Prop them up so that they catch the morning sun and then re-position them so they catch the afternoon sun on the reverse side. Make sure the automatic sprinkler system doesn't start up. Once you have beaten the crap out of them and have used the sun's natural cleansing abilities (UVA and UVB light waves) tote the mattresses back indoors. It would be a good idea to inspect the top edge of the mattress just in case a cat has napped on it. Also, you should do this at a time of the year when pollen is not so heavy. Your local weathercast usually provides this info daily. Next, apply a very light misting of all natural, non-toxic, odorless enzyme cleaner on the surfaces of the mattresses. The enzyme mist should be dry to the touch within 5 minutes or else you have misted too heavily. Mist the pillows too. Each time you launder the mattress pad, apply the enzyme mist (very lightly) to the mattress and pillows before replacing the mattress pad and pillow cases. The enzymes will "munch on" and slow down the growth of dust mite colonies, mold, mildew, fungi, spores, pollen, bacteria and viruses, until the next time you beat the crap out of your mattresses.

Some people may suggest you vacuum the mattress in position (in the bedroom) but unless you have the right vacuum and most likely you don't, I would not...unless you vacuum the mattress outdoors. Most vacuums, even the top ranked HEPA vacuums per the Consumer Report's magazine, still spew millions of dust particles into your indoor environment. These particles stay airborne for 2 hours circulating throughout the entire home, before settling on top of everything...including dust mite-proof mattress pads and pillows.

For generations upon generations (ask any octogenarian) people would routinely tote their mattresses outdoors at least every spring, and sometimes again in the fall, to literally beat the crap out them with a big stick, broom, 2 x 4, baseball bat, 9-iron, tennis racket, or whatever else they could find.

The purpose of doing so was to remove the dust within the mattress. What was not known then is known today. The "dust" was mostly shed human skin and the allergenic waste products of dust mites which love to eat shed human skin cells, along with mold, mildew, spores, fungi, pollen, pet dander, bacteria and viruses.
 

If the mattress has any foreign stains on it, then check out the mattress stain removal link at the bottom of this reply. BTW, enzymes will, overtime, also eat away any organic stains, on or in, the mattress(es).

An average queen-sized mattress is host to around 2 million dust mites. A dust mite poops 20 to 30 fecal pellets, 15 microns in size, per day (actually night, as they are nocturnal). So that equates to 40-60 million FRESH fecal pellets in your mattress each morning you awake. Dust mites live for 100 days...so one average-sized colony leaves 40 to 60 TRILLION fecal pellets in your mattress over their lifetime and of course as they die off...many more replace the dead ones.

The digestive system of a dust mite produces a protein called guanine. The guanine breaks down hard to digest foods which also allow dust mites to practice "corphagia" meaning they can survive by eating their own feces just in case you decide to put a mite-proof mattress cover on your mattress.

The fecal pellets dry up and become powdery thus reducing the 15 micron size to an even much smaller size (< 1 micron). All the contaminants in your bed become airborne each time you roll over in bed (50 to 60 times per night is average) or each time you fluff your pillow, or of course every time you and your significant other bounce on the bed.

When inhaled, guanine attaches to lung walls and kills healthy lung cells by suffocation.
BTW, the weight of a new pillow can increase 10%-25% in just a couple of years. 
Here's the bottom line, for better Health and Wellness, start with mattress hygiene... This Sioux Falls based company is the first of its kind in the Sioux Falls area, and can bring relief to asthma and allergy sufferers. 
    We offer a free allergy test to all our customers, a $29.95 dollar value, to show them just how contaminated their mattress is. We are The Bed Med of Sioux Falls, visit us on the web at www.thebedmed.com for more information, or call us at 605-728-1363.  Our web site has a link so you can see the process on the news.
    P.S.  This Allergen Removal and Disinfection was seen on CNN's Anderson Cooper, Oprah Winfrey and Rachael Ray had stories on Dust Mite and how harmful they are to us.
