Abstract:
A variety of applications for UV LEDs that are integrated into a system are described, where the UV light is used for disinfection of air or surfaces, or used to detect the scattering light by particles, or used for skin treatment. In one embodiment, a ceiling luminaire includes a sensor for detecting the presence of people in the room. The luminaire contains a first set of LEDs for generating white light, for illumination, and a second set of LEDs for generating UV light for disinfecting the room. When the sensor detects that no people are in the room, the system automatically controls the UV LEDs to turn on to disinfect the room. The white light LEDs may be independently controlled with a dimmer.

Claim (Index 11):
A method for selective illumination and disinfection of a room by a luminaire, the luminaire containing a first set of light emitting diodes (LEDs), a second set of LEDs, and a third set of LEDs, the first set of LEDs generating a first light for producing white light to illuminate the room when energized, the second set of LEDs generating invisible light in the UV range wherein light from the second set of LEDs is directed downward to disinfect surfaces in the room when energized, and the third set of LEDs generating invisible light in the UV range to disinfect air in the room when energized, the light from the third set of LEDs not being directed downward, the method comprising:\n controlling the first set of LEDs to be energized for generating a first light for producing white light to illuminate the room; sensing, via a sensor in the luminaire, whether there are people in the vicinity of the luminaire; in response to sensing that there are people in the vicinity of the luminaire, automatically controlling the second set of LEDs to be off while the third set of LEDs remains on to disinfect the air irrespective of whether there are people in the vicinity of the luminaire; and in response to sensing that there are no people in the vicinity of the luminaire, automatically controlling the second set of LEDs to be on while the third set of LEDs remains on to disinfect the air irrespective of whether there are people in the vicinity of the luminaire.
