UV led insect killer

How does a UV LED insect killer work?

An LED insect killer works by using a combination of ultraviolet (UV) lights and an electric attraction system to eliminate flying insects.
So in practice, we are on the same pattern as a "classic" lamp destroyer.
LED insect killers are equipped with special LED lamps that are more environmentally friendly than conventional neon lights and emit ultraviolet light. Insects, especially mosquitoes and flies , are attracted to this UV light , as they are sensitive to certain wavelengths of light in the same way as conventional neon tubes.
Flying insects are naturally attracted to the light source and approach the insect killer.
Once insects are attracted to the LED insect killer, they encounter a charged electrical grid. We are therefore in exactly the same mode of operation as the tube shredders.
This grid creates a strong electric field that electrocutes insects on contact. The grid is usually protected by a safety grid to prevent accidental contact with people.
When an insect comes into contact with the electric grid, an electric current passes through it, causing its death. Some insect killers are equipped with a removable collection tray below the grate to collect dead insects.
In the food industry, we generally opt for a glue board version which will have the effect of avoiding projections during the electrocution of the insect.

To conclude, the generation of LED insect killers are generally more environmentally friendly than traditional devices that use chemicals or insecticides. However, they are not selective in their action and can also attract and eliminate certain beneficial insects.
