I’d recommend playing around with Illuminate. Depending on the room size and shape, far-UVC can range from mildly less effective as a good air purifier on high to far more effective.
For example, lets say you have an Aerolamp in the corner of a tiny room (10ft x 7ft x 8ft). You’d need to dim the lamp to 70% to protect people who are near the corner. Illuminate calculates (guv) a CADR-equivalent for a range of pathogens, and taking the median I get 216 CFM. Then let’s say you instead put it in a cavernous room (50ft x 50ft x 50ft). Now you can easily run it on full power (guv) and I get a median CADR-UV of 1,979 CFM. Even if you run it at 70% power to keep it apples-to-apples the median CADR-UV is still 1,354 CFM. (sheet) Of course most rooms will be well between these two extremes!
Compare to the AirFanta 3Pro at 413 CFM on high (though it’s noisy enough on high that I only run mine that high if I need to clear smoke).
