FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTE: THE BULBS MUST BE OPEN TO THE AIR TO WORK. THE SUPER-OXYGEN MOLECULES MUST BE ABLE TO ESCAPE INTO THE AIR TO CLEAN AND PURIFY THE AIR AND SURFACES SURROUNDING THE BULB.
How Long does it take for the bulb to emit Super-Oxygen molecules after it is turned on?
The patented PLT coating takes 30-40 minutes to be fully activated after being exposed to a light source such as turning the light bulb on. The best results come from leaving the bulb on as long as possible.
What is the "range" of the light bulbs once turned on?
The range of a Pure-Light Super-Oxygen bulb is between 8-10 feet in all directions if open to the air. However, the closer the bulb is to a surface, the better and faster the purifying action happens.
I can get an LED bulb at the Dollar Store, why is your cost so high?
Our special LED bulbs are a very high quality LED bulb that uses special frequencies of light (natural daylight) to both provide the light for the Super-Oxygen process to work and to counter depression, blues, etc. (S.A.D.--Seasonal Affective Disorder). These frequencies of light actually helps produce Seratonin, the "happy" brain chemical in the brain. (https://www.health.harvard.edu/mind-and-mood/serotonin-the-natural-mood-booster) Plus, the bulbs are coated and sealed with our patented Pure-Light Super-Oxygen formula.
Because of the high quality we can offer a five year warranty. The bulbs are prepared, coated, and sealed in our factory located in Rigby, Idaho.
PLEASE NOTE: A regular LED bulb cannot purify the air when turned on.
I see a small issue with Titanium Dioxide in the news right now about breathing the dust. Should I worry?
The formula for our coating does not emit Titanium Dioxide into the air. Our patented coating seals the TiO2 into a special transparent matrix that allows the electrons that turn into Super-Oxygen molecules out into the air.
I don't have a dimming socket/switch. Most or all of your bulbs are dimmable, what can I do?
Dimmable bulbs work in a non-dimming socket/switch. You won't have any issues.
Can the A19 bulbs be used with a 3 -Way?
No. The A19 bulbs should not be used with a 3 Way socket. 3 way bulbs are available however.
Will an air fan help the photocatalytic action?
The air naturally circulates near and around the bulb. The super-oxygen molecules spread out from the light bulb to a distance of approximately 8 feet. The closer problem areas are to the light the better the photo-catalytic action. A fan is not necessary in order for the photo-catalytic process to work however it certainly will assist the process.
Can the bulbs be used inside lamp shades? Will more bulbs increase the effectiveness of the photo-catalytic process?
Yes as long as the bulbs are open to the air. The more bulbs, the greater the photo-catalytic process.
Does Pure-Light use ultraviolet light?
Pure-Light bulbs and technology do not produce, use, or need to use harmful ultraviolet light. UV light is recognized as being very harmful or destructive to most everything- plants, animals, humans, even materials.
Are LED lights bad for my health?
No. Pure-Light Technologies recommends having a healthy balance of natural sun light and LED Pure-Light for best overall health.
Our Pure-Light LED lights are full spectrum, having red, green, as well as a very small amount of blue frequencies present. They are very close to producing the same spectrum as natural sunlight.
Our simple quest is to provide the best and healthiest lights we can.
Why do plants grow so well with Pure-Light Technology?
It is primarily because of the extra oxygen that the technology produces along with the discouragement of harmful bacteria and mold. Plants need oxygen to actually grow and survive. This article from the University of California at Santa Barbara helps explain it.

Why do plants need oxygen?
Answer Part 1:
I’ll bet you are wondering that because you already know that plants can make oxygen. You probably already know that in photosynthesis, plants take CO2 from the air, Water (H2O) from their roots, and energy from the sun and make sugar (C6H12O6). What a lot of people don’t realize is that when there’s little or no light, plants do the same thing we do. They break down the sugar to release CO2, water, and energy. This requires oxygen. The reason is pretty complex, but basically, electrons get passed around, and oxygen has to pick them up at the end of the process. If you measured the amount of oxygen and CO2 dissolved in a lake, how do you think the daytime levels would compare to the nighttime levels? Would a plant need oxygen if it were under lights 24 hours a day?
Answer Part 2:
Plants respire, just like we do. When a plant doesn’t have access to light, it burns sugar to make energy, consuming energy. It’s just that plants use sugars to build their bodies as well as an energy storage, so over the course of a plant’s life, as it grows, it makes more sugar than it burns, and so releases more oxygen than it consumes.
Answer Part 3:
Plants need oxygen for the same reason you and I do — without oxygen we can’t convert the carbohydrates, fats, and proteins we eat into energy. We call this process respiration, and the formula for this sort of reaction is like this: sugar + oxygen –> carbon dioxide + water + energy
We breathe in oxygen and eat food, and we exhale carbon dioxide and excrete water.
This exact same reaction goes on in every living cell, including all plant cells. But of course plants don’t have to eat food, because they make their own food using photosynthesis. The formula for photosynthesis is basically this:
carbon dioxide + water + sunlight –> sugar + oxygen
You can see that this is basically the reverse of respiration, but plants convert the energy in sunlight into the chemical bonds of the sugar. When cells respire, they break those bonds and get the energy out of them. Anyway, you can see that photosynthesis produces oxygen as a waste product, so for the most part plants don’t have to breathe in extra oxygen — they can just use the oxygen that they produce during photosynthesis. However, plants only perform photosynthesis in the green parts, like leaves and stems, but all plant cells need oxygen to respire. Cells in the leaves get plenty of oxygen from photosynthesis, but cells in the roots often need to get oxygen from the environment to stay alive. Even though roots are buried, they can absorb oxygen from the small air spaces in soil. This is why it’s possible to ‘drown’ plants by watering them too much.
If the soil is way too wet, the roots are smothered, the roots can’t get any oxygen from the air, and the cells in the roots die. Without those root cells, the rest of the plant dies. Some plants have evolved adaptations to deal with extremely wet soil. Mangroves are trees that live in swampy environments along the coast in the tropics. The roots of mangroves are often entirely under saltwater, so they have special structures called pneumatophores (Greek for “air carrier”) that act like snorkels, sticking up out of the water to get a oxygen for the roots.

Warranty and Returns questions
What is the warranty on the PLT light bulbs?
Pure-Light bulbs are of the highest quality and therefore Pure-Light offers a 5 year warranty on our A19 bulbs, 3-way bulbs, A19HL, BR30 and T8 bulbs. Our glass Candelabra bulbs have a two year warranty. Though the bulbs are very durable and break resistant, care is taken with each parcel when packaged for shipping, However, there is a possibility that they can break. If the light bulb/s arrive damaged then a full replacement is guaranteed. If the outside of the bulb is damaged due to misuse, then the warranty is void.
