As more buildings pursue Green Mark, LEED, and WELL certifications, meeting increasingly stringent assessment criteria can be challenging. At Brite, we’ve been part of numerous projects—providing high-efficiency lighting that meets SS531 lux requirements while maintaining low energy consumption.
Now, we’re going beyond lighting.
Introducing the BriteAir Purifying Light — designed for spaces where indoor air quality, odour control, and energy savings matter most. Our latest product is ideal for:
New builds targeting LEED Silver, Gold, or Platinum
Retrofit projects improving IAQ and energy performance
Toilet, Restrooms and pantry upgrades with persistent odour concerns
Whether you’re an architect designing a WELL-ready space, or a lighting consultant helping clients meet certification goals, BriteAir™ is your solution for smarter, cleaner lighting.
What Is BriteAir Purifying Light?
BriteAir Purifying Light is an advanced LED lighting system enhanced with a visible-light-activated purification layer that:
Breaks down harmful indoor pollutants (e.g. formaldehyde, VOCs, NOx), odours, and airborne microbes like viruses (incl. COVID-19)
Uses motion sensors and low-energy LEDs for significant energy savings
Works silently, without fans, filters, or chemical sprays
Integrates seamlessly into new builds or retrofit upgrades
WELL Certification Contribution
The WELL Building Standard v2 prioritises occupant health and comfort. BriteAir™ helps support key features under both the AIR and LIGHT concepts:
🔹 AIR Concept
A01 – Fundamental Air Quality
Reduces indoor air pollutants like VOCs and microbial contaminants.
A05 – Enhanced Air Quality
Adds an active layer of air purification, especially effective in toilets, healthcare environments, and food spaces.
A06 – Microbe and Mold Control
By eliminating odour-causing bacteria, BriteAir™ supports cleaner indoor environments.
🔹 LIGHT Concept
L04 – Electric Light Quality
High-efficiency LED light with proper flicker and glare control can contribute to visual comfort and WELL lighting points.
LEED Certification Contribution
For LEED v4.1, BriteAir Purifying Light contributes significant points under the Indoor Environmental Quality (EQ) and Energy and Atmosphere (EA) categories. Here's how:
🔹 EQ Credit: Enhanced Indoor Air Quality Strategies (1-2 points)
BriteAir™ helps reduce contaminants without extra ventilation systems.
Supports passive air purification in restrooms, waiting rooms, and other semi-enclosed spaces.
🔹 EQ Credit: Low-Emitting Materials (1 point)
Lighting fixtures contain no VOCs or harmful off-gassing materials. This makes it safe for indoor use and meet emissions standards
🔹 EA Credit: Optimise Energy Performance (1-18 point)
Built-in motion sensors and LED efficiency drastically lower power usage.
Ideal for compliance with energy benchmarks.
🔹 In Credit: Innovation
Visible-light photocatalytic purification can qualify as an innovative approach, especially where BriteAir's UV-free air purification is the first and only in Singapore. Traditional methods use titanium oxide, which emits harmful intermediate by-products.
Where BriteAir Purifying Light works best
Especially suited for hard-to-ventilate, high-traffic areas, such as:
Commercial toilets/restrooms (cafés, malls, restaurants)
Hospital waiting areas and corridors
Office and school toilets
Clinics and dental treatment rooms
BriteAir improves air quality and comfort in these zones — making the space feel fresher, safer, and more premium.
