HARD SURFACE DISINFECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD

A disinfection system capable of disinfecting a space without the use of chemicals is provided. The disinfection system comprises a plurality of independently placeable light towers, which each include a base assembly, a communications module that sends and receives data, an ultraviolet light source, a controller in data communication with the communications module of each of the plurality of independently placeable light towers, and a rotating beam-directing device that creates a beam of light from the ultraviolet light source and is usable to sweep the beam across a surface to be disinfected. The controller is capable of relaying data from each of the plurality of independently placeable light towers to any or all of the other independently placeable light towers. The data provided by the controller includes individual beam rotation rate instructions for each of the plurality of independently placeable light towers based on locations of all of the plurality of independently placeable light towers. A method for disinfecting a space without the use of chemicals is also provided.
