It is reported that LED mosquito killing lamps utilize the phototaxis principle of mosquitoes, using high-efficiency mosquito trapping tubes to attract mosquitoes to fly towards the lamp, causing them to electrocute instantly through electrostatic shock. After seeing it, it feels very magical. With it, mosquitoes should die out.

Principle

By utilizing the characteristics of mosquitoes such as phototaxis, pursuit of carbon dioxide scent, foraging pheromones, airflow, and temperature, the ultraviolet lamp attracts mosquitoes, and they are electrocuted to death by high voltage. Some mosquito lamps also have other functions, such as the disinfection and sterilization function of photocatalysts.

Type

There are many types of mosquito repellent lamps, such as high-pressure mosquito repellent lamps, adhesive mosquito repellent lamps, airflow mosquito repellent lamps, electronic mosquito repellent lamps, etc., with different principles and effects.

Power

The mosquito killer lamp uses AC power supply, which can be directly powered by a socket. The power is generally 2W~20W, and the power is not high.

Misunderstanding

It is often found that some mosquito repellent lights are constantly on, and many people may think that low power consumption is not high, and the relationship is not significant. However, LED ultraviolet lamp radiation is harmful to the human body and cannot be irradiated for a long time. According to information, ultraviolet radiation is the general term for radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths ranging from 0.01 to 0.40 micrometers. The shorter the wavelength of ultraviolet radiation, the greater the harm it poses to human skin. Short wave ultraviolet radiation can penetrate the dermis, while medium wave radiation can enter the dermis.
