The CleanLight Hobby Unit:

Combats powdery mildew, other funguses, viruses and bacteria on plants! The CleanLight Hobby Unit kit includes UV safety glasses and gloves. CleanLight is based on UV light, which is very effective against powdery mildew and botrytis.

The CleanLight Hobby Unit provides a great way to fight powdery mildew on plants. This UV light is very effective against microorganisms like fungi, viruses and bacteria. CleanLight is especially effective against powdery mildew because this fungus stays on the leaves. By using CleanLight from day one the plant becomes stronger and more resistant against diseases; this way it acts as a preventive method against powdery mildew.

If powdery mildew is already present, treat your plants on a daily basis and you will cure it from the powdery mildew infection. The powdery mildew is dead from the first time the UV light hits it, after one week it turns black and you can wipe it off the leaves.

In addition, CleanLight can also be used in the post-harvest stage to fight powdery mildew because it leaves no residues on the plants. Swiping the plants with the CleanLight Hobby Unit before packing it or storing it will make sure no powdery mildew can develop.

CleanLight UV crop protection is a clean and effective way to protect crops against diseases and improve the quality of the plants and crops. CleanLight is in the professional horticulture market in more than 20 countries, mainly because of the improvement in quality and because it is a residue-free method.

The CleanLight Hobby Unit is a plug and play unit that is easy to use. The CleanLight Hobby Unit uses a 11 watt UV lamp which is just strong enough to kill fungi, viruses and bacteria but not enough to harm plants and crops. 

With the CleanLight Hobby Unit you protect your plants, flowers and crops in a completely organic and environmentally friendly manner. CleanLight can be applied inside and outside; crops and plants outside are stronger and can also be exposed longer to CleanLight UV light (5-10 seconds). 

CleanLight UV crop protection must be applied on a daily basis. Powdery mildew and botrytis spores germinate once every 24-48 hours; to break this cycle it is important  that CleanLight is applied regularly. The CleanLight UV light does not kills spores and insects, these organisms are too strong; although CleanLight kills the mycelium of fungus.

For safety it is essential that the protective gloves and glasses are always used. Prolonged exposure to the skin could cause skin irritation, and looking directly into the light is harmful for the eyes.

While exposure time can be perfectly measured with automated systems, the CleanLight Hobby Unit works differently. With a distance of 5-10 centimeters to the plant, the exposure time should be between 2-5 seconds. The larger the distance to the plant, the longer the exposure time should be. 

Some plants and crops are more resistant to UV light than others, so if a slight burning of the leaf occurs it is recommended to let the plant rest a couple of days so it can recover.
