  • the invention concerns a light emitting device comprising a housing having a first light exit window, and at least one light source adapted for, in operation, emitting light, where a first part of light emitted by the at least one light source has a wavelength of 200- 230nm, and where a second part of light emitted by the at least one light source has a wavelength being within the UV-spectrum but different from the wavelength of the first part of light.
  • UV (Ultra Violet) disinfection has become a topic of renewed interest as the demand for sterilization increases.
  • UV-C light with wavelengths between 200 and 230 nm can provide a germicidal effect by deactivating viruses and killing germs, furthermore UV light with a wavelength between 200 and 230 nm has a low penetration depth in skin and eye tissue, thus preventing the light from harming people.

However, the lamps also emit light harmful to the skin and eyes of people. Therefore, they can only be used in unoccupied spaces. To overcome this issue, different products have been developed for different disinfection applications, often making use of only a limited part of the emitted spectrum of the UV disinfection lamps.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif électroluminescent (20, 30) comprenant un boîtier ayant une première fenêtre de sortie de lumière (22, 32), au moins une source lumineuse (23, 33) conçue pour émettre, en fonctionnement, de la lumière, et un premier composant optique (24, 34). Une première partie de la lumière (231, 331) émise par ladite au moins une source lumineuse (23, 33) présente une longueur d'onde de 200-230 nm, et une seconde partie de lumière (232, 332) émise par ladite au moins une source lumineuse (23, 33) présente une longueur d'onde comprise dans le spectre UV mais différente de la longueur d'onde de la première partie de lumière (231, 331). Le premier composant optique (24, 34) est configuré pour transmettre la première partie de lumière (231, 331) pour permettre l'émission de la première partie de lumière (231, 331) à travers la première fenêtre de sortie de lumière (22, 32) et la réflexion de la seconde partie de lumière (232, 332) en éloignement de la première fenêtre de sortie de lumière (22, 32).
