1. An electromagnetic interference (EMI) reducing cover configured to couple to a housing of a UV lamp assembly having a UV light source that is configured to emit UV light through a light outlet of the housing, the EMI reducing cover comprising:
one or more grids comprising a plurality of structural beams that define a plurality of light openings, wherein the plurality of structural beams have an axial cross-section in the shape of a triangle, wherein the plurality of light openings facilitate passage of the UV light emitted from the UV light source, and wherein the EMI reducing cover includes at least 90 percent open space relative to the plurality of the plurality of structural beams.
