A box-shaped UV disinfection system () comprises a plurality of internal UV sources () disposed on at least two of its walls () that are adjacent to each other, all of the internal wall surfaces having a reflectance higher than 80% and preferably higher than 87% in the wavelengths range between 250 and 350 nm, and a UV-transmitting support () that has at least a 70% UV transmittance in said wavelengths range and is located at a suitable minimum distance from the base wall (), the UV sources () disposed on at least one of its walls () being inclined towards the base wall () with an angle comprised between 5° and 30°. Such a system has improved characteristics in terms of efficiency and in a preferred embodiment also has better portability.

A non-hermetically sealed LED system containing an active composition having an amount between 0.06 and 2.5 mg per cmof the system optical window area is described. The active composition contains an active material in powder form, wherein at least 75 wt % of the active material is chosen from one or more of active carbons, silver, copper, zinc, copper oxide, zinc oxide, calcium oxide, and silver oxide.

A composite transparent lighting device is described. The device has a transparent substrate, an uniform distribution of low concentration dielectric particles, reflective perimeter and perimetral discrete light sources, of improved appearance both in the inoperative state of the device, and at the same time capable of providing good quality lighting when the device is active, i.e. when the discrete light sources on the perimeter of the device are turned on.
