Patent attributes
A ventilating and sanitizing lamp for use in a nail salon with a visible light source and a germicidal light source in a hood connected to a elongated hollow member. Heat from the visible light source effects convective air flow from the hood out of the elongated hollow member. An impeller positioned in the elongated hollow member above the visible light source and below the germicidal light source assists the convective air through the elongated hollow member. Air laden with dust and chemicals is pulled into the hood and out of a nail technician's breathing zone together with any bacteria, molds and viruses which are deactivated by the germicidal light source before the air is expelled above the heads of the operator and his or her client.
