Patent ID: 8481985

Claim:
A disinfecting apparatus comprising: a dual-single line lamp comprising: three triaxial tubes defining two annuli there between; a first gas mixture selected to produce a first narrow wavelength photon emission; and a second gas mixture different from the first gas mixture selected to produce a second narrow wavelength photon emission that is different from the first narrow wavelength photon emission; a high voltage electrode located on a first tubular surface of one of the three triaxial tubes; a ground electrode located on a second tubular surface of one of the three triaxial tubes, the second tubular surface located opposite the two annuli from the first tubular surface; and a photon reflector secured in a spaced relationship to the dual-single line lamp positioned to direct photons to a zone or surface, whereby the disinfecting apparatus produces photons that are directed to a selected zone or surface and efficiently destroys or deactivates DNA organic bonds and proteins of microorganisms when the high voltage electrode is energized.
