  • Publication number: 20210290791
    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to measuring an ultraviolet lamp distance from a surface, determining, based on the distance, lamp illumination parameters effective to disinfect a surface area portion, and automatically disinfecting the surface based on governing the lamp illumination parameters. In an illustrative example, the distance may be measured using a passive infrared proximity sensor. The lamp may be an LED emitting a light wavelength between 180 nm and 300 nm, permitting effective disinfection. The lamp illumination parameters may include time and energy determined as functions of distance and the surface area portion exposed to illumination, permitting disinfection effectiveness adjustment as the lamp is moved. Various examples may include a counterbalancing weight directing the lamp down toward a surface, permitting efficient illumination usage.
