Abstract
An irradiation method includes irradiating an environment with light using one or more one ceiling-mounted light sources, where each ceiling-mounted light source has an optical axis oriented vertically downward, and wherein each ceiling-mounted light source emits a light distribution having more angle-integrated intensity in a higher angular range relative to the optical axis of the ceiling-mounted light source than in a lower angular range relative to the optical axis of the ceiling-mounted light source. A ceiling-mounted light source may include a support structure, one or more light emitters disposed on a surface of the support structure, and a reflector with a funnel-shaped reflective surface facing the support structure and expanding with increasing distance from the support structure along the optical axis. The light emitters may be ultraviolet (UV) light emitters whereby the light source is a UV ceiling-mounted light source.
