Sanitize surfaces without harmful chemicals. The Feit Electric UV Protect Sanitizing Wand uses powerful UVC light to disinfect surfaces in seconds. The sanitizing wand emits UVC germicidal ultraviolet light in the 270-280 nm range. It delivers up to 99.9% effectiveness at inactivating harmful bacteria like Staphylococcus and E. coli.
