Claim 0:
1. An upper room air germicidal light fixture comprising:
a light source configured to emit light, wherein the light is emitted at wavelengths capable of inactivating at least one species of pathogen disposed in air;
at least one lower baffle assembly disposed adjacent to the light source wherein said at least one lower baffle assembly enables air to flow through said at least one lower baffle assembly, wherein said at least one lower baffle is also configured to direct the light and to block or substantially dissipate incident light rays from the light source;
at least one upper baffle assembly disposed adjacent to the light source wherein said at least one upper baffle assembly enables air to flow through said at least one upper baffle assembly, wherein said at least one upper baffle is also configured to direct the light and to block or substantially dissipate incident light rays from the light source; and
at least one aperture defined by an opening between a corresponding set of upper and lower baffle assemblies, wherein the light emitted by the light source exits the fixture through said at least one aperture simultaneously in multiple directions,, wherein, when the germicidal light fixture is disposed in a room, surrounding room air will contact light exiting the apertures of said fixture, and room air traveling through said fixture will contact light inside and between the corresponding set of upper and lower baffle assemblies,, and wherein the at least one upper baffle assembly is adjustable, such that a size of the at least one aperture is adjustable based on an angular orientation of the at least one upper baffle assembly relative to the lower baffle assembly.
