a lamp chamber, said lamp chamber having an ingress and an egress in communication with an exterior of said housing; and
an aperture in communication with said lamp chamber, said aperture positioned between said ingress and said egress;
a pane of filtering glass for covering said aperture;
a C-band Ultra-Violet radiation source, mounted in said lamp chamber between said ingress and said egress, for emitting C-band Ultra-Violet radiation through said pane of filtering glass; and
an impellor installed in said lamp chamber for promoting a flow of air into said ingress from said exterior of said housing, past said C-band Ultra-Violet radiation source and out of said egress.

Abstract
A wand-type Ultra-Violet (UV) radiation sterilizing wand includes a housing having an aperture and a source of UV radiation mounted within the housing positioned for emitting UV radiation through the aperture. Advantageously, the lamp chamber within which the source of UV radiation is mounted has an ingress and an egress so that an air flow may be promoted through the lamp chamber to cool the lamp and, thereby, allow for a lamp of higher UV power output than would otherwise be practical.
