Abstract
A disinfection chamber for disinfecting objects placed within an interior space of the disinfection chamber. The chamber includes a plurality of LED fixtures and one or more shelves. The LED fixtures each comprise LED ultraviolet sources and at least one LED visible light source. The ultraviolet sources are configured to emit germicidal ultraviolet light. Each of the shelves comprise a grill frame configured to support and position objects. A first shelf of the one or more shelves is positioned at or near a floor of the interior space. A first LED fixture is positioned upon the first shelf and beneath the grill frame. A second LED fixture is positioned at or near a ceiling of the interior space. The first and second LED fixtures are arranged within the interior space, such that objects placed within the interior space will be disinfected by the ultraviolet sources.
