Scientifically does NOT work.
Scientifically does not work. Look up of the NIH study on UV as it pertains to cleaning/killing viruses. Basically the study stated that surfaces/viruses need at least 10 seconds of UV expose to be affected. Common sense tells you that air will not be in contact using this device for 10 seconds. Idea is good, but technically it cannot work. IF there was a filter of sorts, then perhaps. I actually bought two of these and ended up taking the tops off, rigging the light to stay on (due to the cap switch), and placing it my air intake to expose my AC coils to constant UV. This is to inhibit growth on the coils.
