From the fly lamp to the smart hygiene solution
For decades, conventional UV fluorescent tubes were considered the standard in insect control.
But in kitchens, laboratories and care facilities, they have long since replaced modern LED UV systems .
This new technology attracts insects with precise wavelengths – without chemicals, risk of splinters, or high power consumption.
The result: better hygiene , less maintenance and more safety during operation.
The problem of classic UV traps
Traditional fluorescent insect traps have several disadvantages:
- High energy consumption (up to 40 W per device)
- Danger of splintering when glass breaks – a risk in kitchens and laboratories
- Mercury-containing lamps that must be disposed of regularly
- Short lifespan (tube replacement every 6–12 months)
- Unpleasant heat development
Especially in HACCP environments – i.e. everywhere where hygiene regulations apply – these devices are increasingly no longer up to date .
The advantages of modern LED UV technology
The new generation of LED systems uses precisely tuned light waves to attract flying insects effectively but hygienically.
Advantages at a glance:
✅ Chemical-free & residue-free – ideal for kitchens, laboratories & care areas
✅ Energy efficient – up to 70% less power consumption
✅ Low maintenance – LED lights last up to 20,000 hours
✅ No broken glass, no mercury – absolutely HACCP compliant
✅ Quiet & odorless – trouble-free operation in everyday life
✅ Modern design – unobtrusive, even in open spaces
The combination of LED light and adhesive film instead of electric shock grids creates a hygienic, safe system – perfect for sensitive areas.
How it works
- Targeted light waves (UV-A spectrum) attract insects.
- LED technology produces a uniform, long-lasting UV light.
- Insects land on a non-toxic adhesive film inside.
- The film is regularly disposed of hygienically – without contact with the insects.
💡 No electric shock, no noise, no smells – but clean results around the clock.
