Abstract:
A system for sterilization of objects, comprising a plurality of sources of ultraviolet light emission; and an enclosure formed so as to enclose an object and to form an inner chamber in which the object to be sterilized can be located, said enclosure having vertical walls wherein adjacent walls are positioned at substantially right angles to one another forming a corner between each two of said adjacent walls, said sources of ultraviolet light emission being arranged in said inner chamber so as to emit light in said inner chamber of said enclosure onto an object to be sterilized, each of said sources of ultraviolet light emission having a substantially triangular casing with two sides extending substantially parallel to the walls forming a corresponding one of the corners of the enclosure, an ultraviolet light emitting element, and a substantially flat reflector extending between said two sides and directing the ultraviolet light from a respective one of said corners of said enclosure onto the object.
