@pezmico What kind of "UV light" might that be?

I have a hard time to find reliable info about UV/ UVC / Far-UVC. That is maybe helpful technology, but it is potentially dangerous, too.

Which solution/ product has usability for the "normal" user?

@better_tomorrow @pezmico Naomi Wu has a great video where she builds a ceiling lamp and tests its effectiveness. #UVC is very dangerous, so do not just put up UVC lamps in any occupied spaces. Naomi talks about that in length.

As for consumer products: Philips Lighting has several options, and these should be safe if used properly: lighting.philips.com/main/prod

Also: UVC is used to keep fishtanks clean - it kills algae and other bacteria. But it can also kill all fish.

@fihu @pezmico Thanks, i will look into it.

I already have a Philips Aircleaner working with UV, but in the end it is not what i am looking for, because it is a closed system. The other Philips consumer products are not suitable with lifeforms around, as i understand.

I am searching for a solution where you can still be in the room (safely).

@better_tomorrow @pezmico I guess the ceiling lamp Naomi built is okay - and Philips has professional versions of that too. Basically, it generates an UVC "field" beneath the ceiling which then does its job on viruses and other organics stupid enough to rise up to the ceiling.

Just make sure there are no reflecting objects inside the field… 🪩
