A device for emitting ultraviolet light includes at least one excimer lamp and a housing for the excimer lamp(s). Each excimer lamp has a discharge vessel filled with light-emitting gases, and a pair of first and second electrodes that are placed in contact with the discharge vessel and produce a dielectric barrier discharge inside the discharge vessel. The housing is made of an insulating and heat-resistant resin material. The housing is configured to house the excimer lamp(s), and has a light-emitting window that allows light with a center wavelength in a range from 200 nm to 230 nm emitted from the excimer lamp(s) to exit from the housing.

An excimer bulb assembly, with an excimer bulb, at least one integral captured reflector, and an integral filter such that the excimer bulb only emits substantial UV radiation between 200 nm and 230 nm, using a filter that passes light from about 200 nm to 234 nm (+/−2 nm).

An excimer bulb assembly including an excimer bulb emitting a beam of UV light at a wavelength of 222 nm. The excimer bulb may include a filter that blocks any unwanted wavelengths of UV light. The assembly includes a focusing lens positioned a distance from the excimer bulb such that the emitted beam of UV light strikes the focusing lens at an angle. The distance between the excimer bulb and the focusing lens may be varied such that the angle changes when the distance is varied. A plurality of excimer bulbs emitting a beam of UV light at a wavelength of 222 nm in a pattern may be including in a fixture. The fixture may include a housing with the plurality of excimer bulbs are secured in the housing. At least one of the plurality of excimer bulbs may be adapted to independently swivel with respect to the housing so as to change the pattern of the emitted beam of UV light. Each of the plurality of excimer bulbs may be adapted to independently tilt with respect to the housing.

An excimer bulb fixture including an excimer bulb emitting a beam of UV light at a far UV C wavelength. The fixture includes a krypton/chloride bulb, a band pass filter and a diffusion layer or lens. The krypton/chloride bulb is adapted to project a beam of far UV C light through the filter and then through the diffusion layer or lens. The band pass filter is adapted to block substantial UV radiation wavelengths longer than 234 nm. The diffusion layer or lens is adapted to widen the beam of far UV C light. A method far widening a beam of far UV C light includes the steps of projecting a beam of far UV C light produced by a krypton/chloride bulb through a band pass filter; blocking substantially UV C radiation longer than 234 nm; projecting the filtered beam through a diffusion filter or lens; and, widening the filtered beam.

An excimer bulb assembly including a krypton/chlorine excimer bulb and a pass filter. The excimer bulb assembly does not emit substantial UV C radiation in wavelengths longer than deadly 240 nm through UV C wavelengths. The pass filter is adapted to block substantial UV C radiation in wavelengths in the range of 240 nm-280 nm. The assembly may include a captured reflector, a smart chip, and/or a heat sink. The bulb and its electrical connectors may form a cartridge. The assembly may include a housing and the cartridge may swivel in the housing.
