It’s any recommended consumer lamp for out there ?

When you need more than the existing manufacturers can produce, and the alternative (Italy) is to let them die in a hallway, then you might be willing to try anything. If it was my life I’d prefer the Dyson over nothing.

Developing a closed mask that doesn't contaminate everyone around them might do much good.
Anyone seen any info on the Dyson AirBlades used for hand-drying in public restrooms? They are very effective at drying , but flick a lot of water up and onto the unit. I guess if everyone has properly washed their hands the WHO way, the rinse water should be safe, but I'm still wondering whether you are risking getting virus from the previous possibly infected person who also doesn't know the words to Happy Birthday…
For all new buildings or products, any surface which is touched by hundreds of people each day needs to be redesigned to be contactless or to use materials that minimize transmission; products like hand dryers should pass standards that measure whether they spread bacteria or viruses; buildings and public transportation (buses, trains and planes) need to use HEPA filters to reduce airborne transmission risks, and to filter out air pollution; and sinks for hand washing need to become a standard feature at office receptions or entrances/exits.
We should also be able to reduce the normally accepted steady state of deaths, ill health and economic impacts from flu and other unnecessary sickness.
But this is going to be more and more necessary as global disease transmission becomes easier. It could be a new strain of flu or a drug resistant TB next year. There has to be defence in depth and in advance, not just hoping always for a magic fix after the problem has occurred.

I guess nobody should stop him trying to make some of these at a crash pace, because there's a nonzero chance they might work out, but it does seem unlikely.
Oh. That Dyson.
Was not a fan until I bought their V10 vac. It is quite amazing at cleaning, performing much (much) better than any other vac I have ever owned although with the downside of an insufficient battery.

Maybe they've improved but my DC59 seems to have many design flaws. Hair and dust gets stuck in the weirdest places, requiring a screwdriver to clean properly (or the power just cuts off due to blockages). The connection between the motorised head, tube, and the main body also seems to be insecure. Normal forward and back motion will interrupt the connection and it stops spinning. For such an expensive product, I'm n…
I've had a refurb V7 for a couple of years now, and never had any of your problems. Maybe the DC59 suffers from V1 types of problems? I chose the V7 because it was the cheapest / oldest model with the new ejection mechanism.
I don't think the design of the motorised head was good at all, since as I said I found hair and dust got through the cracks into the housing and I needed star shaped screwdrivers to get in there and clean it.
And the main body has a flimsy flap that opens/closes with airflow, but it gets stuck very easily with our dust situation. So I have to pick at it down the tube (awkward), unscrew it, or hope running water flushes it (tends to just consolidate the dust into paste). If the flap stops moving the motor cuts off every few seconds.
Overall it was great for a year or two but for the price (and based on our consumer laws here in AU) I'd expect 5-10 years of service for such a vacuum cleaner. It now needs a lot of TLC and cleaning compared to our bagged Miele roller.

There is a growing consensus that constant positive pressure is what many patients need: https://emcrit.org/ibcc/covid19/ Developing a closed mask that doesn't contaminate everyone around them might do much good.

The child rescue submarine was not used for the rescue, but it wasn't a bad thing that it could have served as a backup plan. Elon Musk's comments were unforgivable, though.
