Jeez, every response in here is about it burning your eyes. Thing is, people aren’t in every room all the time. Have it set to a sensor, same as the lights, and you can quickly sanitize large spaces that are unoccupied. Elevators, airplanes, etc can be sanitized the second they’re empty. My FIL is a retired GE engineer working on this technology.
Given how often the lights go out at work while I’m taking a dump, this isn’t the best idea.
Fiber, bro…fiber
So you’re saying his internet connection is too slow? I agree
Pulling shit with fibers could help the constipated too
Sounds dangerous
I have lights go out on me all the time at the office, just sitting mildly still. What happens if someone falls asleep in the room? Or worse a kid? Severe sunburn and possible blindness
Or what if they’re black? I’ve read so many stories about sensors not detecting people simply because they have darker skin.
I dont think the lights would be on the entire time the room was empty…
Better presence sensors exist, and are only used in such critical situations. These are based on radar and sense the chest movements of people.
The light can be tucked away into the HVAC. The light never needs to hit anyone. You got central heating/cooling? One light, whole building. It’s almost criminal this isn’t common.
That is… Genius, the light probably needs some time to work but the idea of disinfecting a at a central location can work well for indoor air.
But my sweaty mouse pad, and dust stuck on the floor would need another system.
I’ve been in a restroom and had the lights turn off on me because a sensor didn’t detect someone was still I the room. I’d bet good money I’m not the only one. Sensors, presently, are either invasive or inaccurate. Or both.
