The device is also equipped with a series of [UV-C LEDs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/picnic-uv) that will detect once the user leaves thanks to a proximity sensor and will [sanitize the surrounding area](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hahatec-self-sanitizing-toothbrush) in just 15-minutes. The 'TOMO ON' smart desk light has a low-energy profile and can automatically adjust its intensity according to the [ambient light in a space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/resonance-lamp).
