Spectral Blue MWHI® by LED Tailor

LED Tailor is a Finnish life-science company specializing in the development and manufacture of chemical-free disinfection solutions based on antimicrobial blue light (aBL). Our solutions contribute to better surface hygiene and air quality in cleanrooms, food industry, laboratories, healthcare facilities, and sites with indoor air quality issues.

All our products are designed in Finland. Our continuous R&D is conducted within an extensive international network of expertise. We are the first European company to supply disinfection solutions based on blue light. Our patented blue light disinfection technology is called Spectral Blue MWHI® (multi-wavelength, high-intensity).

Our solutions are used for effective disinfection of spaces and objects, and they also work on biofilms and antibiotic-resistant bacteria (incl. MRSA, VRE, EHEC, ESBL). In addition to contributing to a cleaner and safer environment, they create significant savings in the consumption of chemicals, water and energy, as well as in sick leave and healthcare costs.
