Abstract
A wall- or surface-mounted light fixture with a housing containing one or more external visible light sources to illuminate the space where the light fixture is mounted, one or more UV emitters inside the housing to destroy bacteria and pathogens, and one or more fans inside the housing that recirculate the air in a space and subject the air to the UV radiation inside the housing, destroying bacteria and pathogens in the air passing though the housing.
Claims23
A wall- or surface-mounted light fixture, comprising:
- a. A housing, defining an internal space, said housing adapted to be placed, attached or mounted onto a wall or a surface inside a room by securing means coupled with the housing;
- b. One or more external light sources coupled with the housing, said one or more external light sources being selectively operable to illuminate the room;
- c. A plurality of substantially parallel plates disposed in the internal space, defining a decontamination chamber therebetween;
- d. At least one internal decontamination source adapted to be placed, attached or mounted into the decontamination chamber;
- and
- e. Means for driving air through the decontamination chamber, wherein the air is disinfected by the at least one internal decontamination source when the air passes through the decontamination chamber.

A wall- or surface-mounted light fixture, comprising:
- a. A housing having a lower part and an upper part, defining an internal space therebetween, said housing adapted to be placed, attached or mounted onto a wall or a surface inside a room by securing means coupled with the housing;
- b. A lower external light source coupled with the housing, said lower external light source being selectively operable to illuminate the room;
- c. An upper external light source coupled with the housing, said upper external light source being selectively operable to illuminate the room;
- d. Air intake means disposed in the lower part of the housing;
- e. An air intake aperture in the housing cooperatively coupled with the air intake means;
- f. Air exhaust means disposed in the upper part of the housing;
- g. An air exhaust aperture in the housing cooperatively coupled with the air exhaust means;
- h. A plurality of substantially parallel plates disposed in the internal space, defining a decontamination chamber therebetween;
- and
- i. At least one internal decontamination source adapted to be placed, attached or mounted into the decontamination chamber, wherein the air intake means draw air through the air intake aperture and drive the air through the decontamination chamber where the air is disinfected by the at least one internal decontamination source, and wherein the air exhaust means draw air from the decontamination chamber and expel the air through the air exhaust aperture.
