Insectron® LED Insect Traps
New, more eco-friendly versions of the proven Insectron® insect traps.
The Insectron® light traps were designed for controlling and monitoring flying insects. The energy-efficient, UV-free LED light sources allow the traps to be used in environments containing light-sensitive objects.
Advantages of the new LED light source
- Increased energy efficiency: allows for energy savings of over 80 %
- Extended service life: the LED tubes have a lifespan of 3 years compared to 1 year for fluorescent tubes
- More eco-friendly: the LED tubes do not contain mercury, unlike fluorescent tubes
Please note: the new LED tubes are retrofit, meaning they can be installed in Insectron® units originally equipped with fluorescent tubes.
Function
Flying insects are attracted by the UV-free light source and stick to the adhesive-coated trapping surface. This non-destructive trapping method makes it easy to identify and quantify the insects, allowing user-friendly and professional monitoring.
The Insectron® insect traps impress with their high efficiency and straightforward handling. The devices run silently, produce no unpleasant odors and work without the use of chemicals. These features make the traps an economical and environmentally friendly tool for Integrated Pest Management (IPM).
The Insectron® product range is an excellent addition to other traps such as G-Trap, L-Trap, M-Trap and S-Trap.
Maintenance
Glue boards should be replaced after approximately 2 to 3 months of use, if used for a longer period of time the adhesive strength will be reduced drastically.
Illuminants should be replaced if they are defective or if fewer insects are attracted:
- After approx. 5,000 burning hours (approx. 7 months of continuous operation): decrease in attraction approx. 10 %.
- After approx. 15,000 burning hours (approx. 21 months of continuous operation): decrease in attraction approx. 20 %.
- After approx. 25,000 burning hours (approx. 35 months of continuous operation): decrease in attraction approx. 30 %.
When a burning time of 25,000 hours has been reached, illuminants should be replaced in any case.
