Abstract
An approach for providing illumination with a blue UV light source, which can be used in combination with a visible light source is disclosed. In operation, the visible light source emits visible light at a first intensity. The blue UV light source emits blue UV light at a second intensity. The blue UV light stimulates fluorescence from a surface of an object illuminated by the blue UV light. A sensor can detect the intensity of the fluorescence from the surface illuminated by the blue UV light source. A control module can be operatively coupled to the visible light source, the blue UV light source, and the at least one sensor, and be configured to change the intensity of the visible light and/or the intensity of the blue UV light as a function of the fluorescent intensity detected by the sensor.
