Abstract
An UV-C device may include several UV-C light sources (e.g., UV-C LEDs) and such UV-C LEDs may have UV-C reflecting structures arranged to direct UV-C in a particular direction and at a particular size and shape. Doing so may, for example, increase the UV-C in a particular direction or working area. A UV-C generating device may be utilized in an air stream, such as an air duct, to sterilize air from that air stream. Sound suppression compartments may be placed around a UV-C generating device inlet and/or a device outlet to reduce sound from the UV-C generating device. Human perceivable (e.g., audible, tactile, and/or visual) notifications may be utilized to provide notification of different modes of operation and/or different efficacy levels (e.g., percent ranges of inactivation of a particular or multiple particular viruses, bacteria, spores, etc.
