  • Patent number: 8921813
    Abstract: An ultraviolet (UV) germicidal or sterilization fixture having a dual parabolic reflecting assembly for collimating and redirecting UV light. The first pair of parabolic reflectors are positioned to collimate and reflect light emanating from the sides of the UV light source and spaced apart proximately to the rear surface of the UV source to allow light to pass through. The second pair of reflectors are positioned behind the first pair and aligned to capture light passing through the gap formed by the first pair of reflectors and then collimate and redirect the light produced by the rear of the light source out of the front of the fixture.
