Killing Viruses with UV! - Video

Death from above! Death to viruses that is. I’ve created an Open Source Upper Room UVGI light fixture. I talk about the advantages and risks, how to mitigate that risk and what is required for safe installation.

Due to potential safety issues, I’m not posting the files until I get more professional feedback. If you’d like to have them, please email [email protected]. Let me know where you are and what use case you have in mind. I’ll do my best to help.
