A hybrid germicidal irradiation apparatus, method, and system for dual-band germicidal irradiation. A first plurality of emitters and a second plurality of emitters may be coupled to a housing configured to be coupled to a ceiling of an interior room. The first plurality of emitters and the second plurality of emitters may be operable to emit UV-C radiation at a wavelength of about 265 nanometers and near-UV radiation at a wavelength of about 405 nanometers, respectively. One or more radiation sensors are configured to measure the amount of UV-C light or near UV-C light reflected from a target surface. A controller may be communicably engaged with the radiation sensors to calculate an amount of UV-C radiation and near-UV radiation delivered to a target surface or interior space. |
