  • Publication number: 20230181788
    Abstract: A sanitizer has substrates which are coated with an optically-activated nanomaterial TiO2 coating for cleaning air which comes into contact with the surfaces of the coating. UV LED light sources are arranged to emit light to be incident on the surfaces to activate the coatings. There is a large surface for impingement of air on the coatings due to a grille arrangement of the substrates, and the LED-emitted UV light being incident at acute angles on the grille honeycomb structure.

  • Publication number: 20210324658
    Abstract: A handle for a cabinet, has a translucent rod with a photocatalytic antimicrobial TiO2 external coating, and a pair of supports each engaging an end of the rod and being affixed to a cabinet door. One support has an array of two LEDs for emission of light into the rod, one LED emitting blue light and the other emitting white light. There is total internal reflection within the rod, for very effective incidence on the coating.

  • Publication number: 20170023221
    Abstract: A luminaire (100) has an elongate tubular shell (1) and an elongate internal chassis (2) within the shell dividing space within the shell between a first compartment for electrical components and a second compartment for optical components (7, 6). The luminaire has a sealing cap (3, 4) at each end, and at least one of which supports an auxiliary active component for an application such as emergency lighting or car parking management. The shell (1) has features 1(a) for desired optical properties. The only seals are at the ends, between the end caps and the shell, and these are via sealing rings (17).

  • Patent number: 8899779
    Abstract: An illuminator (1) an elongate inner housing (10) having a substrate (20) on which there is a linear array of light emitting diodes (24), wherein the diodes have sufficient power for illuminating objects at a distance of at least 1.5 m. A drive circuit (30, 31) is mounted in an upper compartment of an outer housing (2) at least partly surrounding the inner housing (10). There is a diffuser (22) over the diodes. There is a pair of side reflectors extending substantially parallel to an axis of the illuminator, being side walls (26) of the inner housing. The inner housing (10) is coupled to the outer housing (2) in a modular manner so that it is interchangeable. There is a series of reflector baffles (23) extending from a plane of the diodes at intervals along the length of the inner housing. The baffles (23) have textured surfaces and have a dimension normal to the substrate sufficient to act as visors to limit glare in the longitudinal direction.
