Introducing next generation illness prevention.
At Beacon, we are revolutionizing illness prevention by changing the way indoor spaces are disinfected.

[Beacon @beaconlightco]

We're continuing to advance how Beacon's cutting-edge disinfection technology is deployed in real-world settings. With that, we're thrilled to announce Beacon's collaboration with @illinoistech.

Through an Illinois Innovation Vouchers Program grant awarded by @ISTCoalition and The State of Illinois, we will be studying how Far-UVC technology can help mitigate the spread of infectious diseases in public spaces.

Peace of mind, powered by Beacon.

Beacon customer Linda felt safe and secure going into surgery. She knew that Beacon was hard at work in the background: It was busy disinfecting both air and surfaces, which would help eliminate harmful bacteria and viruses from her hospital room.

This is the future of patient safety and illness prevention: Continuous, intelligent, and easy-to-use technology.

When patients feel safer, outcomes improve.

We created Beacon to help facilities like hospitals reduce transmission of harmful pathogens and give patients peace of mind. Beacon’s disinfection technology is making a scientific and emotional difference.

We’re honored to hear stories like this from the people we’re helping.

[Beacon @beaconlightco]

Are you interested in how Beacon's journey began?

It all started during the early days of the pandemic, which inspired the development of our proprietary disinfection technology that safely inactivates air and surface pathogens.

Our origins and CEO Brian Clark's story were featured in @polskycenter's latest article: "Where Are They Now? Beacon Takes Aim at Eliminating Airborne Transmission."

Throughout our journey from a simple prototype to installations in homes and healthcare facilities, our mission has always been clear: make indoor spaces safer for everyone.

Next-Gen Illness Prevention, Backed by Science.

CBS News reports how Far-UVC is a safe, human-friendly disinfection method can inactivate airborne viruses like Flu and Covid.

At Beacon, we use Far-UVC to bring intelligent, real-time disinfection to indoor environments.

Watch the CBS story now:

[CBS Evening News with Tony Dokoupil @CBSEveningNews]

Far-UVC light is a form of ultraviolet light that can kill viruses and bacteria in the air without harming humans. Researchers say it could be instrumental in stopping the spread of illnesses like the flu and possibly future pandemics. CBS News’ @DrLaPook explains.

Who's sick of getting sick? 🙋‍♀️

There's no doubt about it: This winter's sick season has been a doozy. Many of us have been hit with some variation of the "Quademic" and are asking ourselves, "is it over yet?!"

At Beacon, we want to help reduce illness spread so that future sick seasons can be less severe, and we were just awarded a grant to demonstrate our technology's ability to do so.
