Abstract

The present invention provides a light source having germicidal properties. The light source includes a radiation source capable of producing radiation at a wavelength that can deactivate pathogens. A housing contains the radiation source and includes a visible light transmitting component that is coated with a phosphor capable of producing visible light when excited. The housing includes multiple openings that allow air to flow through the interior of the light source where it is exposed to the germicidal radiation. The radiation source can include an enclosure having a quartz-L component capable of absorbing radiation having a wavelength of 185 nm, which can create ozone. Additionally, the light source can include a blower that increases the airflow through the light source. The light source can be tubular to approximate a traditional fluorescent light, or it can include a threaded base so that it can be coupled to an incandescent light fixture.
