Ultraviolet (UV) Disinfection Light

<p>Ultraviolet light has been widely used for disinfection at health care / medical sector. Some studies*** believe UV-C light can be used as one way to fight against COVID-19 virus.</p> <p>I've ordered couple UV-C light bulbs (PHILIPS TUV PL-L 24W/4P) online, but I don't have any light housing for this. So I decided to design a light myself and hang this in one of my toilets to make it a temporary 'disinfection room'.</p> <p>As UV-C is harmful to our skin, I'd like to able to control the switch without physical attendance. So this project utilised a ESP-8266 based <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/30382-espurna-board-housing">IoT switch</a><br/> Also, the <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/30911-2g11-connector-housing">2G11 Connector Housing</a> was made due to this.<br/> Reflectors were made out of plastic hollow board, I applied a sheet of aluminium foil on top with some double layer tapes.</p> <p>ps. Fusion 360 exports the design as a bundle file (igs, iges) which isn't supported here, I've attached STEP version instead.</p> <p>***Relevant reports and studies:<br/> <a href="https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20200327-can-you-kill-coronavirus-with-uv-light">Report 1</a><br/> <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/business-51914722">Report 2</a><br/> <a href="https://metro.co.uk/2020/03/05/buses-blasted-uv-light-rid-coronavirus-12352400/">Report 3</a><br/> <a href="https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/infection-control-and-hospital-epidemiology/article/efficacy-of-an-automated-multiple-emitter-wholeroom-ultravioletc-disinfection-system-against-coronaviruses-mhv-and-merscov/B067FCFF88142FD9ECBCCD6AE13C7CD6/core-reader">Study 1</a><br/> <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-21058-w">Study 2</a><br/> <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17002634">Study 3</a></p>
