1. An air purifying luminaire comprising:
- a light fixture having a first compartment adjacent a second compartment, said first compartment containing one or more germicidal lamps concealed in said first compartment, and said second compartment containing one or more lamps illuminating the desired area away from said light fixture; and
a fixture inlet spaced from and in flow communication with a fixture outlet thereby forming a throughway passing adjacent said one or more germicidal lamps, whereby a cooling convection flow of air enters said light fixture through said fixture inlet and passes said one or more germicidal lamps concealed in said light fixture and exits said light fixture through said fixture outlet when said one or more germicidal lamps is in operation, thereby sterilizing said convection flow of air.

7. A luminaire system for air purification comprising:
-
a luminaire fixture having a lamp compartment and a germicidal lamp compartment, said germicidal lamp compartment containing one or more germicidal lamps; said germicidal lamp compartment having one or more air inlet apertures connected by a throughway to one or more air outlet apertures, whereby air travels into said one or more air inlet apertures through said throughway and exits out of said germicidal lamp compartment through said one or more air outlet apertures; said one or more germicidal lamps of said germicidal lamp compartment illuminates into said throughway within said luminaire fixture; and one or more lamps of said lamp compartment illuminating away from said luminaire fixture to the desired outside environment. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A luminaire system comprising:
-
a lamp compartment in flow communication with a sterilization compartment, wherein said sterilization compartment includes one or more ultraviolet lamps, and said lamp compartment having one or more lamps illuminating the desired area away from said luminaire system; and a system inlet in fluid communication with a system outlet thereby forming a throughway extending through said sterilization compartment and said lamp compartment, wherein a cooling convection flow of air enters into said system inlet and passes adjacent said one or more ultraviolet lamps of said sterilization compartment whereby said air is sterilized, and said sterilized air exits said luminaire system through said system outlet. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
