If there’s one room in the house that’s always been open to change, it’s the kitchen. Our increasing desire to live a healthy lifestyle has contributed significantly to the rise of the modern kitchen. Although the wellness kitchen trend has been around for some time, we now view it through a much broader and more sophisticated lens, using advances in technology and design to transform how our kitchens look, function, and most importantly, how they support healthy eating and environmentally-friendly lifestyles.
We have a long and rich history of developing innovative products that focus entirely on the needs of our customers, finding new answers to the toughest problems. Today more than ever, preventing the spread of microorganisms is a growing concern, especially at home, so we made wellness a priority with our latest product introduction.
We are excited to introduce a collection of products featuring BrightShield™ antimicrobial lighting technology. Working with Vyv™, a market leader in antimicrobial LED light technology, we have created select refrigerators and ice machines with lighting that kills* and prevents the spread of microbes. Their team of inventors, microbiologists, and engineers are devoted to perfecting ways to apply this planet-friendly approach to a cleaner way of living.
Why choose BrightShield™ lighting?
Maybe you’re looking to keep items like cans, bottles, and ingredients chilled after a trip to the grocery store. Or maybe several hands are reaching into the ice machine throughout the day. This unique lighting works around the clock, killing* any viruses, bacteria, fungi, yeasts, mold, & mildew on surfaces the light touches, helping you create a more hygienic home.
How does it work?
This patented LED light technology harnesses its power from the visible light spectrum and casts a soft violet glow that delivers continuous antimicrobial action to destroy microbial cells from the inside out, keeping the surfaces it touches free from contamination and reduces odors. Unlike UV lighting, which can be harmful if not used properly, BrightShield™ antimicrobial lighting is approved for continuous use around people, pets, and plants.
