Here is the one. I don't know if it performs in spec. Never bought one before. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B085HZK755/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B085HZK755/ref=ppx_yo_dt...

  Because this is (a) NOT Far-UVC, and (b) 360-degree light that shines in all directions, the only way to use it safely is with a remote power switch or a short timer so you (and pets) can get out of the room before the light turns on. Don't re-enter the room until the light is switched off remotely or with a timer. It is hazardous to your eyes and skin. Could it be used in a spotlight lamp that directs all the light in one direction?

    I mention below I place the light bulb (using a hand-held socket) in a glass aquarium. Glass completely blocks UV-C light. The other hazard is ozone, so I use this outdoors on my patio or garage.

      > Glass completely blocks UV-C light. Erm, then why do they come in glass tubes like florescent lights?

        Not all glass is the same. Pure silica glass will pass UV, the soda-lime glass your windows are made of won't.

        I specifically said UV-C light. Do a bit of research and you'll find the answer.

    Yeah, I got a E27 socket wall plug with wireless control. I assume it should be possible to get a remotely controlled lamp with reflector to make a spotlight out of it.

  I bought a cheap glass aquarium for my UVC light bulb. Glass block UVC light completely so it becomes safe to use that for smaller items. Also you will produce a lot of ozone, so do this outdoors with a lot of ventilation.

This is a 3-watt handheld - the power may be too low. https://www.amazon.com/Foldable-Travel-Household-Wardrobe-Toilet/dp/B075N1HTFZ/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=germise&qid=1585434717&sr=8-3 https://www.amazon.com/Foldable-Travel-Household-Wardrobe-To...
