Abstract: Apparatuses are disclosed which include a lamp assembly having a germicidal lamp configured to emit ultraviolet light and a base supporting the germicidal lamp. The apparatuses further include a support structure holding operational components for the apparatus and an automated actuator for moving the base and the germicidal lamp relative to the support structure. In addition, the apparatuses include a processor and a storage medium having program instructions which are executable by the processor for activating the automated actuator such that the base and the germicidal lamp are repositioned relative to the support structure while the germicidal lamp is emitting ultraviolet light.

Abstract: Apparatuses are disclosed having an ultraviolet lamp, a base supporting the lamp and a support structure coupled to the base. In some cases, the apparatuses include an automated actuator for moving the base and the lamp relative to the support structure and program instructions for activating the automated actuator such that the base and the lamp are repositioned relative to the support structure, sometimes continuously or periodically, while the lamp is emitting ultraviolet light. In other cases, the apparatuses include a reflector arranged along a longitudinal side of the lamp, an automated actuator for providing rotational movement of the reflector relative to the support structure, and program instructions for activating the automated actuator such that the reflector is repositioned relative to the support structure while the lamp is emitting ultraviolet light.

Abstract: Apparatuses are disclosed having an ultraviolet lamp, a reflector system arranged to project light emitted from the lamp to a region 2-4 feet from a floor of a room in which the apparatus is arranged, and a mobile carriage with operational components for the apparatus. The apparatuses are configured such that the lamp is not moveable beyond vertical planes aligned with a casing of the carriage. Other apparatuses are disclosed having an ultraviolet lamp and configurations for moving the lamp relative to a structure of the apparatuses while the lamp is emitting light. Yet other apparatuses are disclosed having an ultraviolet lamp and a surrounding housing, a reflector to redirect light emitted from the lamp, an actuator for moving the reflector and the housing together relative to a structure supporting the lamp, and a rotator distinct from the actuator for rotating the reflector and housing relative to the structure.

Abstract: Apparatuses are disclosed which include one or more lamps configured to emit germicidal light, wherein the apparatuses are configured such that germicidal light emitted from the one or more lamps is projected exterior to the apparatus. The apparatuses further include wheels arranged along a bottom of the apparatus and a motor to provide automated mobility of the apparatus across at least a part of a room or area in which the apparatus is arranged. Moreover, the apparatuses include a processor and a storage medium having program instructions which are executable by the processor for activating the motor such that the apparatus is moved within the room or area while the one or more lamps are emitting germicidal light.
