Would it be possible to have the far UVC lamps pointed upwards (to protect people) if there were sufficient air movement? Perhaps very near the exhaust of air filtration systems? Or, would that degrade effectiveness too much?
Could degradation be offset by having more upward-pointing lamps?
The big advantage of far UVC (222nm) is that you don’t have to point the lamps up, because, at least in moderation, it’s safe to shine on people.
With traditional UVC (254nm) that kind of upward pointing installation is very common. Or, at least as common as UVC, which is to say, not very common.
