Abstract

Systems, methods, and apparatuses involving lighting device dissipation are provided. An example light emitting device for inactivating microorganisms may comprise a vent configured to allow air to flow therethrough. The light emitting device may comprise a light emitter disposed on a substrate and configured to at least produce a light. The light may comprise a radiant flux sufficient to initiate inactivation of microorganisms, wherein at least 20% of a spectral energy of the light is in a wavelength in a range of 380-420 nanometers (nm). The light emitting device may comprise a fan configured to create an airflow through the vent and towards the substrate.

Claims (13)

1. A light emitting device for inactivating microorganisms, the light emitting device comprising:

a baffle configured to allow air to flow therethrough;

a horizontally disposed exhaust;

a light emitter positioned above the baffle and disposed on a substrate and configured to at least produce a light comprising a radiant flux sufficient to inactivate microorganisms, wherein at least 20% of a spectral energy of the light is in a wavelength range of 380-420 nanometers (nm);

a horizontally disposed fan positioned above the baffle and coupled to the exhaust; and

a heat sink configured to absorb heat from the light emitter, wherein the heat sink is positioned above the light emitter and having a length extending axially aligned with the fan and exhaust, and wherein the fan is configured to pull air from below the baffle, propel the air over the light emitter and heat sink, and propel the air out the exhaust in a direction perpendicular to the air entering the baffle.

2. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the airflow cools the light emitter.

3. The light emitting device of claim 1 , further comprising a heat sink configured to absorb heat from the light emitter, wherein the airflow is configured to dissipate heat from the heat sink.

4. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein to create the airflow, the fan is configured to pull air over the light emitter creating a vertical airflow from a bottom of the light emitter to a top of the light emitter and through the fan.

5. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the light comprises a peak wavelength of 405 nm.

6. The light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the light emitter is a first light emitter and the light is a first light, the light emitting device further comprising:

a second light emitter configured to produce a second light having a wavelength in a range of 380-750 nm; and

a controller in communication with the first light emitter and the second light emitter and configured to switch between a first light mode and a second light mode, wherein the first light mode comprises emission of the first light and the second light mode comprises emission of the second light.
