Abstract
A compact, portable, low cost ultraviolet (UV) light source apparatus irradiates select or target surfacing for disinfecting or sanitizing the target surfacing or for decomposing ozone within a defined ozone environment. The ultraviolet light source apparatus according to the present invention essentially includes a power source; an ultraviolet (UV) light source in communication with the power source, and a mechanism for powering on and powering off the ultraviolet (UV) light source. The ultraviolet (UV) light source directs ultraviolet light toward a select surface for irradiating the surface or decomposing ozone. The ultraviolet (UV) light source apparatus may be attached to any number of select surfaces or objects or may be utilized to receive and hold objects for treating surfacing thereof.
