Review: Momax UV-C LED Pen Sanitizer

With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic that has already become a global health crisis of our time, we have been constantly following guidelines to become safe and more aware of the situation. These guidelines included washing our hands, using face mask or shield, maintaining social distancing, using sanitizer or alcohol and more.

But what about our gadgets? Like our earphones, cameras, powerbank, laptops and even smartphones which we constantly used making virus or other germs easily get transferred to our skin. This is the reason why disinfecting gadgets is a must to limit or prevent the exposure as well as transfer of the deadly coronavirus.

Good thing that one of the country’s largest retailer of premium gadgets and accessories Digital Walker has the perfect tool to help disinfect our gadgets introducing the Momax UV-C LED Pen Sanitizer.

Just like how we use a sanitizer to purposely clean our hands, the Momax UV-C LED Pen Sanitizer uses ultraviolet light of UV-C to zap away killing 99.9% of those pesky virus or germs that might have in our gadgets. The portable pocket-sized device is very affordable priced for only PHP1,990 (before PHP2,490) available at Digital Walker and Home Office site. This is part of Momax and Digital Walker collaborative project for its health and wellness campaign.

The box contains the following: UV-C LED Pen Sanitizer, USB-Type C Cable (1-meter), Carrying Pouch, and Documentations such as Instructional Manual, Safety Information and Momax Mini Flyer.

The pen sanitizer is Hongkong lab test approved and certified making it sure it passes quality standards before going to the consumer market.

It’s made of durable plastic with a nice black matte finish, lightweight and measures at around 5-inches only. It has a set of three UV-C LED light to emit that wide spectrum of UV light capable to kill 99.9% of germs such as Escherichia Coli, Staphylococcus Aureus, and Candida Albicans. It also has a touch control feature on the Power ON/OFF buttons enclosed in a tempered glass material.

HOW TO USE

To use the Momax UV-C LED Pen Sanitizer, just simply tap the ON/OFF button twice to turn it ON with the indicator blue light will light ON as well. Place the pen sanitizer to the device you’re going to disinfect with around 3 to 5 cm away from it holding for 10 to 30 seconds only. Then you move on to the next area with the same distance and time. To power OFF the device just tap and long press the ON/OFF button and the indicator light will turn OFF.

The pen sanitizer has a safety feature that automatically shut off the UV-C LED when it is facing upward. It will prevent you from directly emitting the ultraviolet light to your eyes as it may cause significant eye problems. The same thing goes to your skin as exposure to it may cause dangerous skin cancer.

BATTERY AND CHARGING THE PEN SANITIZER

The device uses a USB Type C cable; however they didn’t include in the box a USB power adapter so you might need to use your own or buy another one. It has a battery capacity of 800mAh, during our test we were able to use it for almost half of the day sanitizing devices from smartphones, small bags, jewelry, earbuds and our MacBook laptop. We think it still has enough power, so our initial findings that the battery can last around 10 to 12 hours.

To recharge just connect the USB-C port of the device to a power supply using the USB-C cable. The Red indicator light will turn ON when charging is in progress it will begin to turn into a green light when charging is complete.

SAFETY TIPS

Please take note of these precautionary tips when using the Pen Sanitizer.

  1. Do not look directly at the ultraviolet light or use it in your skin.
  2. Do not let your children play with this as a toy, so keep them away from reach.
  3. Do not leave it unattended while in use.
  4. Never use this device to pets and people.
  5. Prolonged exposure of UV may cause discoloration or make it brittle of plastic materials.
  6. The protective glass of the UV LED may fog due to humidity, please turn off the device for a while till the fog goes away naturally.
