A UV sanitizing system with satellite UV units has a wheeled base UV sterilization unit and at least one satellite UV sterilization unit. All units are capable of generating UV-C from multiple locations within a room or other enclosed space. A timer regulates the anti-bactericidal dose of UV-C administered to the area. Alternatively, sensors may be used to measure the UV energy received by an area within a space and to provide data to a controller. The controller may determine from the sensor data when the area within the location has received sufficient UV energy and control the illumination sources to reduce the UV exposure of the area. When not in use, the satellite UV units can be stored by attaching them to a receiving slot in the wheeled base portion of the UV sanitizing system.
