    Abstract: In an example, a system for disinfecting a lavatory in a vehicle includes a UV light source in the lavatory and configured to emit UV light when activated. The system also includes a switch actuatable between a first state and a second state. The switch is configured to: (i) while in the first state, provide an input power from a power source of the vehicle to a lavatory device in the lavatory, and (ii) while in the second state, provide the input power from the power source to the UV light source and cease providing the input power to the lavatory device. The system further includes an activation control system configured to actuate the switch between the first state and the second state to deactivate and activate the UV light source, respectively. The input power is insufficient to simultaneously operate the lavatory device and activate the UV light source.

    Abstract: In an example, a light control system includes a power converter and a UV light source. The power converter includes an input for receiving an input power from a power source during a time interval, a power buffer for storing power using the input power received at the input during a first portion of the time interval, and an output for outputting a supply power during a second portion of the time interval. The supply power includes a combination of power from (i) the input power received at the input during the second portion of the time interval and (ii) the power stored in the power buffer during the first portion of the time interval. The UV light source is configured to, using the supply power during the second portion of the time interval, emit UV light at an intensity providing a target level of antimicrobial efficacy.

    Abstract: Modules, systems and methods that disinfect surfaces using ultraviolet (UV) light are disclosed. In one aspect, a UV light-emitting module comprises an enclosure including an aluminum rear wall comprising a ventilation opening and a face plate spaced from the rear wall and comprising a light-transmitting aperture. Four aluminum sidewalls extend between the rear wall and the face plate, with at least one sidewall comprising a ventilation opening. At least one fluoropolymer UV light emitter support within the enclosure seats a plurality of UV light emitters that each comprise an elongated lamp comprising a first end having a first terminal and an opposing second end having a second terminal. Lead wires electrically couple the terminals of the elongated lamps to a power source.

    Abstract: A floor assembly is provided. The floor assembly is configured to form or be positioned on a floor of an enclosed space. The floor assembly includes a grid, a pan, and a surround member. The grid has an array of openings configured to allow passage of liquid. The pan is disposed beneath the grid and defines a cavity. The pan includes a pan floor and a frame. The frame is disposed laterally outward of the pan floor and supports the grid. The surround member is supported by the frame. The surround member is disposed laterally outward of the grid, and the surround member and grid do not overlap.
