Zusammenfassung:A disinfecting light apparatus configurable through the use of switchable mirror panels, occupancy sensors, and reflective louvers is disclosed. The disinfecting light apparatus controls the emission of disinfecting light using switchable mirror panels. The occupancy sensors generate occupancy signals used to determine the dimming level of the switchable mirror panels. The reflective louvers are configured to direct disinfecting light 5horizontally to disinfect the "upper-air." The switchable mirror panels, occupancy sensors, and reflective louvers allow for the disinfecting light apparatus to switch between different modes. For example, if the occupancy sensors do not detect any persons in their fields of view, the disinfecting light apparatus operates in a "Surface Disinfection" mode. If the occupancy sensors detect a person, the disinfecting light apparatus operates in "Upper-Air 10Disinfection" mode. Alternatively, the disinfecting light apparatus can be configured to selectively dim individual switchable mirror panels depending on the location of detected persons.
