Abstract
An integrated light device for invocation from a smartphone includes an antimicrobial light wavelength emanating from a utility light portal of the smartphone. Antimicrobial light, such as those in the so-called UVC range (about 222 nm wavelength) have been shown to effectively decontaminate irradiated surfaces against COVID-19 and other harmful depositions on the surfaces, with minimal harmful radiation to humans. Replacing or controlling a smartphone utility light, such as the LED responsive to a 'flashlight' function, allows the personal device to be invoked to quickly irradiate surfaces prior to use, such as sitting, eating, opening doors, and the like.
