@libroraptor @pezmico UV lamps also attract insects, which is why many restaurant kitchens have them in fly zappers. The wavelengths might differ slightly between the bug-attracting bulbs and the germicidal bulbs, but I can see UV in the ducts without also having a physical barrier being a real problem.

@LinuxAndYarn @libroraptor This may be the actual reason they had an UV light. A lot of dead bugs were inside the shield.

@pezmico @LinuxAndYarn My parents used to have a low-wavelength one for generating ozone when they had a motel. They used to to clean out units when people had sneakily smoked inside. The ozone would eat the tobacco stench out of the wallpaper and carpets.

@pezmico @libroraptor Yeah, if it was one that sat on the wall in a big bowl-shaped sconce that was a bug zapper.
