Glue board or electric grill in the food area?
In food preparation areas (kitchen, dishwashing, food preparation and storage), the glue board is the only solution accepted by HACCP protocols and IFS Food, BRC Food, and ISO 22000 audits. The electric grid projects insect fragments up to 2 meters, potentially contaminating food.

What power output is needed for the size of my room?
A simple rule of thumb: 5W LED = 50 m² (counter, display case), 10-14W = 80-120 m² (restaurant kitchen, bakery), 30-45W = 180-240 m² (central kitchen, food processing plant). Undersizing is the number one cause of inefficiency observed in HACCP audits.

What IP rating is suitable for my wetland area?
IP20 in dry areas (restaurants, bakeries, retail outlets), IP44 to IP54 in slightly humid areas (kitchens with wet work surfaces, pastry shops), IP65 in dishwashing areas, high-pressure washing facilities, or slaughterhouses. An underrated model will degrade within a few months.

Fluorescent UV tube or LED: which to choose?
The new generation of UV LEDs has a lifespan of 5 years (compared to 12 months for a fluorescent tube) and consumes 60% less electricity. The initial cost is higher, but the return on investment is achieved in 2-3 years. Almost our entire catalog already features LEDs.
