The problem is to properly disinfect a surface you need a UV-C or B bulb and have to be shield from it while it is running up to 60 minutes or it can destroy and damage your skin and eyes and possibly cause cancer.Plus the debate is still being studied of it even thoroughly kills Covid 19

So when you see adds just change a light bulb and disinfect the air that's a real beware to the consumer

You can not just put a UV-C bulb into a lamp and use it it must have a guard around it or otherwise be encased .
In some cases bulbs being sold as UV-C type are actually nothing more than black light bulbs you see at Halloween party's they do absolutely nothing .
and forget the wands you just wave over items they are just as useless it takes several minutes of concentrated light to properly disinfect.
I recently purchased 2 products to try the Phone Sanitizer from Sharper Image actually works you put your phone in and takes 6 minutes a side you can also disinfect small items like keys as well.
you can actually smell ozone the bulbs produce . At $50.00 its not cheap but it works beware cheap imitators
I also purchased an area sanitizer made by Globe Electric that appears to work and have not received tests back yet but when tested on ultraviolet rocks gives off correct shortwave color compared to a black light. and it is EPA registered
when you turn it on it has a 10 second delay so you can get away and is rechargeable and works up to 2.5 ft and takes 60 minutes to disinfect surfaces like a work station.
For now its Caveat Emptor Buyer Beware do your research and choose wisely.
