A method of sanitizing an object, the method comprising:
- when an object is placed within a cabinet having a plurality of UV-emitting LEDs, providing UV radiation from the plurality of UV LEDs to the object;
- locking a door to the cabinet while the UV radiation is provided from the UV LEDs to the object;
- and
- controlling a total power of UV radiation provided from the UV LEDs to the object and a time duration during which the UV radiation is provided to the object such that a total UV energy provided to a surface of the object exceeds a UV energy that kills more than 99.99% of a predetermined pathogen on the surface of the object.
