Abstract
A luminaire includes a housing configured to be positioned over an area, the housing including a frame having a first channel for receiving a light emitter. A light emitter is positioned in the first channel. The light emitter is configured to emit ultra-violet light. A reflector assembly is connected to the frame to direct ultra-violet light emitted from the light emitter. At least a portion of the area is located at 0 degrees relative to the light emitter and a majority of the emitted ultra-violet light is emitted from the housing between 90 degrees and 130 degrees relative to the light emitter in a first direction.
