Claim:
1. An ultraviolet emitting device comprising: a UV-C emitting source comprising a plurality of UV-C emitting elements, and configured to emit UV-C; a room partition selectably configurable between two or more different partition geometries and configured, in each of the two or more different partition geometries, to (a) physically separate floor space of a room into a target area and a non-target area, and (b) direct the UV-C to the target area from at least two different directions while shielding the non-target area from the UV-C; and an electronic control system including at least one computer processor configured to execute computer-readable instructions to perform at least one UV-C illumination operation, wherein the at least one computer processor is configured to selectively control the plurality of UV-C emitting elements dependent upon which of the plurality of shapes the partition is configured to have, and wherein the at least one computer processor is configured to power on a subset of the plurality of UV-C emitting elements while one or more of the plurality of UV-C emitting elements is powered off.
