Abstract
A handheld portable device for sanitizing a surface or air surrounding a surface. The handheld portable device includes a body that comprises a user input and a UVC light source disposed at the body. The handheld portable device also includes a power source for providing power to the UVC light source. Responsive to actuating the user input, such as by a user holding the handheld portable device, the UVC light source emits UVC light to sanitize the surface or the air surrounding the surface of pathogens. The handheld portable device includes a visible light emitter that, when powered, emits visible light to indicate the surface or space that is irradiated by the UVC light.
