Signify Korea (formerly Philips Lighting Korea), a global lighting company, has launched the ‘Philips UV-C Personal Mini Sterilizer,’ which allows you to easily sterilize your belongings anytime, anywhere.

UV-C is ultraviolet light (200–280nm) with a wavelength shorter than visible light and longer than X-rays, and it is a light source used for disinfection and sterilization purposes. Having specialized in and researched the field of sterilization over a long period—producing not only UV-C sterilization lamps for more than 35 years but also complete sterilization devices ranging from commercial sterilizers to household units—Philips boasts high sterilizing power and safety.

In addition, the ‘Philips UV-C Personal Mini Sterilizer,’ launched with a sleek, streamlined design and a portable form factor, can quickly sterilize a wide range of items within 10 minutes, including personal items such as masks and glasses, makeup products such as brushes and puffs, and electronic devices such as mobile phones and earphones. With LED chips arranged on the top and bottom and a pillar on the base surface, the product sterilizes both the front and back of an item at once, and its use of highly reflective Anti-UV plastic material delivers even more outstanding sterilizing power. Furthermore, the ‘Philips UV-C Personal Mini Sterilizer’ is designed so that you can conveniently carry it and sterilize your belongings anytime, anywhere using a rechargeable USB Type-C cable.

Although UV-C has strong sterilizing power, direct exposure can be harmful to human skin and eyes. Accordingly, the ‘Philips UV-C Personal Mini Sterilizer’ features a dual safety mechanism that automatically turns off the UV-C light when the lid is opened, and an additional shielding wall design prevents UV-C leakage. It is available in two colors—pink and green—and is priced at 49,800 won.

Kang Yong-nam, President and Head of the Northeast Asia region at Signify, said, “The Philips UV-C Personal Mini Sterilizer, with its portable form factor and fast, simple operation, makes it possible to sterilize a variety of items anytime, anywhere,” adding, “We hope you can enjoy a healthy daily life with the Philips UV-C Personal Mini Sterilizer, which captures both hygiene and convenience.” 1670-6147
