A fluid dispersal system with integrated UV lighting includes a reservoir of fluid, a sprayer head connected to the fluid reservoir, a nozzle, and an ultraviolet lighting element. The nozzle is supported by the sprayer head and is in fluid communication with the reservoir to disperse fluid from the reservoir in a spray direction. The ultraviolet lighting element is supported by the sprayer head adjacent the spray nozzle, and directs ultraviolet light in a direction generally parallel to the spray direction. The nozzle and the lighting element may be actuated such that ultraviolet light is directed onto a surface while fluid is simultaneously dispersed onto the surface.

1. A fluid dispersal system with integrated UV lighting, comprising: a reservoir of non-pressurized cleaning and sanitizing fluid;a sprayer head removably and replaceably connected to the fluid reservoir;a nozzle, supported by, and removable with the sprayer head and in fluid communication with the reservoir, to disperse fluid from the reservoir in a spray direction;a pump system that supplies the fluid from the reservoir to the nozzle;an ultraviolet lighting element, supported by the sprayer head adjacent the spray nozzle, that directs non-focused ultraviolet light in a direction generally parallel to the spray direction to illuminate an area of a surface and identify contaminants on the surface area to be cleaned;an actuator; andan electrical switch to activate the ultraviolet lighting element;wherein actuation of the electrical switch is linked mechanically to actuation of the fluid dispersal. 2. The fluid dispersal system of claim 1, wherein the pump system includes a trigger operated piston pump wherein a manually-operated trigger raises an internal piston to draw fluid up a dip tube and force it out through the nozzle. 3. The fluid dispersal system of claim 1, wherein the sprayer head includes a housing, the housing including a light fairing protecting the ultraviolet lighting element. 4. The fluid dispersal system of claim 1, wherein the surface area illuminated by the ultraviolet light is sprayed by the fluid via the spray nozzle. 5. The fluid dispersal system of claim 4, wherein the ultraviolet lighting element directs ultraviolet light on a surface having material containing a chemical not visible to the naked human eye. 6. The fluid dispersal system of claim 1, wherein the nozzle is an adjustable nozzle that may be controlled to adjust the manner in which the fluid is dispersed. 7. The fluid dispersal system of claim 1, wherein the adjustable nozzle may be controlled to adjust the type of spray stream. 8. The fluid dispersal system of claim 1, wherein the adjustable nozzle may controlled to adjust the volume of spray. 9. The fluid dispersal system of claim 1, wherein the adjustable nozzle is a rotary nozzle with a plurality of different settings, wherein the rotary nozzle may be rotated from one setting to another in order to adjust the manner in which the fluid is dispersed. 10. The fluid dispersal system of claim 1, wherein one or more portions of the sprayer head utilize glow-in-the-dark material to aid in illuminating mode status of the adjustable nozzle in the dark. 11. The fluid dispersal system of claim 2, wherein the sprayer head includes a housing comprised of left and right “clamshell”-style housing portions that fit symmetrically, around elements of the pump system, about an axis defined by the spray direction. 12. The fluid dispersal system of claim 3, wherein the light fairing utilizes glow-in-the-dark material to aid user experience in the dark. 13. A fluid dispersal system with integrated lighting, comprising: a reservoir of non-pressurized cleaning and sanitizing fluid;a sprayer head connected to the fluid reservoir;a nozzle, disposed on and/or in the sprayer head and in fluid communication with the reservoir, to disperse fluid from the reservoir in a spray direction;a pump system that supplies the fluid from the reservoir to the nozzle;a lighting element, disposed on and/or in the sprayer head adjacent the spray nozzle, that directs non-focused light in a direction generally parallel to the spray direction to illuminate an area of a surface to be cleaned;a moveable, finger-operated trigger that is mechanically linked to the pump system, wherein the trigger is pulled to cause the pump system to disperse fluid via the nozzle; andan electrical switch, carried on the moveable, finger-operated trigger, that is electrically linked to the lighting element, wherein the electrical switch is actuated by force applied in the same direction as that used to pull the trigger, and wherein actuation of the electrical switch causes activation of the lighting element;wherein, in a first use state, the trigger is pulled by a user, without applying force to the electrical switch on the trigger, to spray the fluid without activating lighting element, and in a second use state, the trigger is pulled by the user, by applying force to the electrical switch on the trigger, to spray the fluid and simultaneously, and with the same motion, to activate the lighting element.
