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But in kitchens, laboratories, or care facilities, they have long been replaced by modern LED-UV systems.
This new technology specifically attracts insects with precise wavelengths – completely without chemicals, risk of splinters, or high power consumption.
The result: better hygiene, less maintenance, and more safety during ongoing operation.
The problem with classic UV traps
Traditional insect traps with fluorescent tubes have several disadvantages:
- High energy consumption (up to 40 W per device)
- Risk of splinters from glass breakage – 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 generation
Especially in HACCP environments – that is, everywhere 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 glass breakage, no mercury – absolutely HACCP compliant
✅ Quiet & odorless – disturbance-free operation in everyday use
✅ Modern design – unobtrusive, even in open spaces
The combination of LED light and adhesive foil instead of electric grid 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 foil inside.
- The foil is regularly disposed of hygienically – without contact with the insects.
💡 No electric shock, no noise, no odors – just clean results around the clock.
