Abstract
A lighting device that comprises a housing, two light sources, at least one airway, an air filter in each airway, and an air circulation mechanism for each airway. The air filter is coated with an antiviral photocatalytic coating. The first light source contributes to the light output of the device, whereas the second light source activates the photocatalyst material in the antiviral photocatalytic coating on the air filter. As the air circulation mechanism forces the air through the air filter, the airborne microbials are trapped on the surface of the air filter, and subsequently killed and decomposed by the photocatalyst material in the antiviral photocatalytic coating. With different embodiments, the present disclosure transforms the regular lighting equipment to antiviral air-filtering equipment and brings wellness lighting to the daily life.
