  • Patent number: 11890391
    Abstract: An excimer bulb assembly including an excimer bulb emitting a beam of UV light at a wavelength of 222 nm. The excimer bulb may include a filter that blocks any unwanted wavelengths of UV light. The assembly includes a focusing lens positioned a distance from the excimer bulb such that the emitted beam of UV light strikes the focusing lens at an angle. The distance between the excimer bulb and the focusing lens may be varied such that the angle changes when the distance is varied. A plurality of excimer bulbs emitting a beam of UV light at a wavelength of 222 nm in a pattern may be including in a fixture. The fixture may include a housing with the plurality of excimer bulbs are secured in the housing. At least one of the plurality of excimer bulbs may be adapted to independently swivel with respect to the housing so as to change the pattern of the emitted beam of UV light. Each of the plurality of excimer bulbs may be adapted to independently tilt with respect to the housing.

  • Publication number: 20230241273
    Abstract: An excimer bulb assembly including an excimer bulb and a pass filter such that the excimer bulb assembly does not emit substantial UV radiation in wavelengths longer than 231 nm, 232 nm, 233 nm, 234 nm or 235 nm. The wavelengths are measured at an incident angle of zero (0) degrees to the filter plane. The pass filter is preferably constructed of a plurality of layers of hafnium oxide, and most preferably constructed of less than seventy five (75) layers of hafnium oxide. The excimer bulb, pass filter, and two electrical connectors may be adapted to form a cartridge which may be adapted to swivel along its main axis. The cartridge may further include a smart chip. The smart chip may retain and store information regarding the assembly and preferably retains hours of use of the excimer bulb.

  • Patent number: 11357879
    Abstract: An excimer bulb assembly, with an excimer bulb, at least one integral captured reflector, and an integral filter such that the excimer bulb only emits substantial UV radiation between 200 nm and 230 nm, using a filter that passes light from about 200 nm to 234 nm (+/?2 nm).
