The challenge is that it's a one time and done purchase. They need some sort of paid maintenance deal or changing the UV bulbs on a monthly basis, etc. Otherwise, it's not really a business one can survive off.

[@gvenkataraman6854]

* Spray sanitizer and a paper towel. * UV bulbs even when off may be more intimidating? * The guys that throw lime bikes in the lake will bash the lights just for fun? * Plastic longevity for UV exposure ... * Crazies may try free tanning by putting a pin in the lock mechanism/switch?!

[@dustincongello5802]

if they create a pocket version of the uv light that the moms could use to sanitize the changing stations the businesses already have so the moms are the ones buying it and not the businesses buying it for the moms that may or may not come in with a baby

Reducing the cost wouldn't matter. They've already stated the main problem multiple times which is the people who want the product aren't the ones buying it. Why would a business spend thousands of dollars on something that brings them no benefits. A business can buy a cheap plastic table for sub $100.

I can't imagine using a public station without wiping it down regardless of what the light does or doesn't do. This isn't solving a problem because diaper bags have wet wipes and the routine would remain the same.
