Abstract
In various embodiments, an illumination device features an ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting device at least partially surrounded by an encapsulant. A barrier layer is disposed between the light-emitting device and the encapsulant and is configured to substantially prevent UV light emitted by the light-emitting device from entering the encapsulant.
