1. A device which inactivates microorganisms comprising:
a container comprising at least one surface and an internal volumetric space;
a substrate disposed on the at least one surface; and
a first array of light emitters disposed on the substrate and configured to emit a first light, within a wavelength range of 380-420 nanometers (nm) and having a first intensity, into the internal volumetric space,
wherein the first intensity comprises an intensity sufficient to initiate inactivation of microorganisms, and
wherein the first light creates a multi-dimensional space of disinfection associated with the internal volumetric space.
