A germicidal lamp can selectively direct germicidal light emitted within an air transporting and/or conditioning system. The system can include a housing, an emitter electrode configured within the housing, and a collector electrode configured within the housing and located downstream from the emitter electrode. The system can further include a driver electrode that can be removed from the housing through a side portion of the housing. The driver electrode can be insulated with a dielectric material and/or a catalyst. A removable trailing electrode can be configured within the housing and located downstream from the collector electrode. A first voltage source can be electrically coupled to the emitter electrode and the collector electrode, and a second voltage source can be electrically coupled to the trailing electrode. The second voltage source can be independently and selectively controllable from the first voltage source.

The invention claimed is: 1. An air sanitizing device adapted to neutralize microorganisms comprising:a housing having a baffle system through which air can pass and a light shielding system to block germicidal light from exiting the system, wherein the housing includes a removable rear-located air intake grill and a removable front-located air exhaust grill;an electrokinetic ion generating device located within the housing for ionizing air, wherein the electrokinetic ion generating device includes:a plurality of emitter electrodes,a plurality of collector electrodes located downstream from the emitter electrodes;a plurality of trailing electrodes located downstream from the collector electrodes for emitting negative ions that neutralize positive ions in the airflow,wherein the trailing electrodes are coupled to the air exhaust grill in order to emit negative ions directly out of the housing with low airflow resistance and to be removed from the housing together with the air exhaust grill for cleaning of the trailing electrodes;a germicidal lamp located within the housing for irradiating air with germicidal light; anda fan located within the housing to draw ambient air into and through the system such that the viability of microorganisms passing through the system is reduced.
