OttLite SanitizingPRO Desk Lamp, UVC Air Purifier – Did you know that phones are covered in germs? A study has shown that desks contain 400 times more germs per cubicle than a seat on the toilet. Give the gift of a cleaner, more sanitized workspace with the OttLite SanitizingPRO.  SanitizingPRO is a desk lamp with an integrated HEPA and UVC purifier. It creates a cleaner, healthier environment for your workspace by using three sanitizing methods and eyestrain-reducing lighting. With integrated and concealed UVC LEDs in the lamp’s base, it kills viruses and bacteria.  A replaceable HEPA filter filters allergens from the lamp. The filter traps allergens as small as 0.3 microns. It can also capture pet dander, dust mites, and pollen.  With ClearSun® LED lighting in the lamp’s shade, the SanitizingPRO creates a more comfortable and productive workspace as it reduces glare and eyestrain by up to 51%.  The OttLite SanitizingPRO LED Desk Lamp is a great gift for college students, people returning to the workspace, or home offices and study spaces, and is available at Office Depot and Office Max stores and www.officedepot.com. $139.99
