UV-C light, worth it to kill spores?

I`m wondering if I could put a UV-C light for a few minutes in my res daily or something to make sure it kills bacteria prevent root rot.
 
I'm also trying to figure this out. I live in Hawaii and botrytis is a problem. Thinking about buying a garden specific UV wand type thing like I've read about. As far as UV light for water disinfection we have a UV light as part of our house filtration. That allows us to drink our water from our rain catchment system. It works well and is pretty affordable.
 
I'd imagine you'd have to be blindfolded to use UVC. It's dangerous. Look into Solarcure's bulbs. It might prevent mold from setting in. The flower power bulb dips a little past UVB, giving a little UVC. I have one, but haven't used it in a few grows now.
 
After harvest, I have about a 5 day window to clean the room, hydro setup, do any mods, then drop the girls back in. The first day, I marinate the room in a bleach and water mix with a pump sprayer. It takes several hours to dry out so that I can re-enter the room. I then stick an ozone generator in there next to a small oscillating fan, close the room up and let it go for about an hour. If you use an ozone generator, make sure to let the ozone dissipate before re-entering.

I've run an ozone generator for a short time in a room full of mature plants with no damage done to the plants. And for experimentation purposes, I had an extra "teen" that I put directly in front of the ozone generator output that suffered for a couple weeks before getting better again. It lost about half of it's lower fans and was stunted for 2 or 3 weeks before recovering. It's now a 6 foot bush mid way through flowering out in my yard.
