Design of Continuous Flow UVC Lamp for Office Air Germicide Elimination

When the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic started to hit in the beginning of 2020, a team led by the IEEE Humanitarian Activities Committee (HAC) and the IEEE Special Interest Group on Humanitarian Technologies (SIGHT) society was formed to brainstorm different ideas which can benefit people from Ottawa and all over the world. One of the discussed ideas was designing a UVC office lamp which can work in presence of humans to eliminate the air germicide. The lamp is designed with materials that can be easily bought on the market and is easy to be manufactured. The lamp has an Ultraviolet C (UVC) output power of 72 W. It also features with over-temperature protection and wireless diagnostic.
