I want a closet size sterilization chamber.
So to start off with you get a grow tent. 4x4x7 ft. Hanging racks, whatever it takes. Then have that light bulb hang in the exact center of it.
Grow tents are 100% light sealed. Okay, 99 point whatever. That's because pot is damaged if there is light during its dark periods when it is flowering. These tents are designed for light seal. So no bad UV will be escaping. Plus their internal walls are highly reflective polished pebbled mylar. None of that UV will be wasted as it bounces around.
There is also overlapping thick black fabric on the inside of the tent behind the zippers to block any possible light.
Secondary they are designed to be very well air controlled. So that means you can plug in filtration systems and move air between filtration system and the tent and be reasonably secure minimal is escaping if you tape down the joints.
I still wouldn't hang out in the room when the tent is in action. I'd still wait a half hour after operation completed and air out the room because a tiny bit of ozone might escape and I respect it.
To start off with the UV will destroy anything that there's a direct line of sight and then all the ozone being created and explosively going after anything in there in that tight space will create absolute shock level sterilization conditions.
I already had this same basic setup but with just ozone. I want to add a little more power to the mix.
But crazy, aren't you crazy for exposing yourself to this dangerous dangerous substance.
Nope. Activated carbon scrubber. Standard exhaust methods for grow rooms include active carbon scrubber. Standard grow room operations would be then to exhaust that air but not in this case. You recirculate it back to the tent for a half hour to go through the ozone depletion process.
My active carbon scrubber can recirculate that tent four times a minute. 30 minutes of that and nothing is left.
When I open up the tent that ozone is gone.
Edit: I just realized this design could be simplified and efficiency probably quadrupled simply by hanging the carbon scrubber in the tent with absolutely no external circulation. No bends in tubes which dramatically drop air flow. Just a fan and a filter straight through in the middle of the tent. It will also lessen the possibility of tent bulge which then pushes ozone through the zippers. This was still minimal before because it was the exact amount of air being taken out as being put back into the tent But every possible opening counts.
And if my paranoia levels off the charts I'd add a 6-in tube out of it with a fan that would exhaust it out of a window as the final step. But I've yet to smell ozone / chlorine / yeah I know what I'm looking for and get the hell out if there's the slightest hint of that smell, and it's not happening at that point.
Also, I wear goggles and hold my breath when I walk into the room to open up the windows as the final step and then walk back out of the room and shut the door.
