Abstract:

A lighting device configured to deactivate pathogens in an environment. The lighting device includes a housing, means for mounting the housing to a surface in the environment, one or more first light-emitting elements arranged in the housing and configured to each produce disinfecting light having a wavelength in a first range of wavelengths, and one or more second light-emitting elements arranged in the housing and configured to each produce disinfecting light having a wavelength in a second range of wavelengths different from the first range of wavelengths. The disinfecting light produced by the first light-emitting elements and the disinfecting light produced by the second light-emitting elements mix to form a combined light, the combined light being visible light other than white light.

Abstract:

A lighting device configured to deactivate pathogens in an environment. The lighting device includes at least one first light-emitting element configured to emit light having a wavelength of between 400 nm and 420 nm, wherein the light emitted by the at least one first light-emitting element is configured to deactivate the pathogens in the environment. The lighting device also includes at least one second light-emitting element configured to emit light having a wavelength of greater than 420 nm. A first combined light output of the light emitted by the at least one first and the at least one second light-emitting elements includes visible light that is perceived as white light. The white light has properties that make it visually appealing and unobjectionable.
