Constantin Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 Well, from the research I‘ve done on my particular UVC box I am about 90-95% certain that my particular UVC box will actually work in the advertised way - even though it’s LED based. And I can easily explain this to anyone who wants ro know - actors, producers, whoever. With alcoholic wipes or other substances I couldn’t be any more certain. Even quarantining my gear for an amount of time won’t yield higher certainty. And with these low power LEDs working inside the box, with just about the right dosage (assumedly), I am hoping that this will also damage my gear the least and at the same time cost me the least amount of time at wrap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
