Useful UV lights

Kind of cool item, basically these are lights that can give you a tan (although you shouldn't go tanning). Turned up a little higher, they're also used in air purifiers and also in sterile facilities to kill germs.

The idea is that you would run this (probably on a timer) every night to turn on for a few hours. It would then automatically clean your kitchen. Lots of cool applications -- expect to see more devices that use them.

Update: I actually bought one of these things but I can't really verify that it works or doesn't.  I haven't figured out a way to easily test it on various bacteria to see if it's working.
