UV Light - Smartphone UV Light Sanitizer - Can UV kill Coronavirus? Does UV Light Sanitizer really work?

UV Light Smartphone Sanitizer

Do you know how many bacteria are on your phone right now? The answer is... a lot. So in this article, I'm going to be reviewing a device that claims to be able to sterilize and kill bacteria and viruses on your phone using UV light. So for this review, let me go over any disclosures. No, this is not a sponsor review.



I bought this with my own money. And in the description if you want to check this out for yourself, I did put a link to the store. It's an affiliate link and it doesn't cost you anything. What? It will help me fund the purchase of future products so I can do more reviews like these. So let's get right into it.

Test UV Light Sanitizer

The device I'm reviewing today is called the UV Smartphone Light which works like that phone soap and it's pretty straight forward. It's basically an enclosure that you put your phone into and it uses UV light to kill any bacteria, viruses, anything of that sort. But obviously the big question is, does it actually work well for this review? I did a full blown science experiment.

I got some Petri dishes so I could actually test how much bacteria was on the phone before and after sterilization, and the results were pretty definitive. Now, before we get into that though, let me quickly go over the other basic features of the device. Inside the enclosure. There are two ultraviolet lamps on the top and bottom to cover both sides of the phone simultaneously during the process, and it actually uses UVC type light, which is a shorter, higher energy wavelength of light than UVA or UVB, which you might be familiar with.

UVC light is considered germicidal, which means it can kill bacteria, viruses, and the like. It also won't heat up the phone or anything, so you don't have to worry about it getting damaged. As her size, it'll support even up to the biggest phones, anything with measurements of less than 6.8 by 3.74 by 0.78 inches.

UV Lights Sanitizer for iPhone

So that'll easily fit the biggest phones on the market, including the iPhone 11 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy S11 for power. It uses a micro USB input and it comes with an AC adapter to plug into the wall. And another cool feature is it has USB power pass through, so it's got a slot on the side. Where you can put your phones, charging cable into the enclosure to charge your phone while it's cleaning.

All you have to do is open the lid and stick your phone in and closed again. And as soon as the lid closes, it automatically turns on the UV lights inside and you know it's working because the light on top will be glowing to show that the lamps are on.

After a little while, it will turn off automatically once it's done. And you'll know that because the line on top. We'll turn off to now. One interesting thing is the instruction. Say it goes for about five minutes before turning off, but I noticed it goes for about 10 minutes and that's not a big deal to me.

I'd actually rather it go a little bit longer, but it's something to keep in mind. It's possible they just updated it to let it go a little bit longer. Either way though, you can open the lid at any time to stop it and the lights will shut off instantly. So you don't have to worry about being exposed to the light at all.




While there wasn't that much bacteria to begin with on the front and back of the phone, there was a lot initially on the case, and that probably has to do with the rubbery material of the case. Be more hospitable than the glass back in front of the phone afterwards. However, it does appear to have killed basically all the bacteria that was there before.

So I guess for the final verdict, the answer is yes, it does appear to work quite well. And I guess that covers about everything. So again, I'll put a link in the description if you guys want to check this out for yourself HERE.
