What's the usage idea?
UV sterilizers do work on most all viruses from what I understand but the issue is the the further from the light source the less effective it becomes and time, temperature and humidity are all factors which can affect the effectiveness. A UV-C light strong enough to clean a 100 sq ft room would be dangerous to humans so it could only be used as a sanitary item and not on all the time. At least as far as I understand it.
edit: just saw your usage idea. Not sure it would be doable and safe for humans but packages seems totally fair game.
- sgroppino 7y agoCorrect - the idea is mostly for ebay/amazon small packages, gloves, mobile phones and glasses (maybe even shoes though I don't see them as a big threat). Never directly applied to skin nor pointed at face/eyes; I'd probably use some tin foil to reflect part of the light, and use sunglasses as precaution though I need to check if they filter UV-C. Any ideas of sensors that could be used to measure W/cm2?
