The 360NM ultraviolet light of the mosquito killer lamp has a specific attraction and trapping effect on killing mosquitoes, which is specifically manifested as follows:
Attraction effect: Mosquitoes have a strong phototaxis to ultraviolet light of a specific band. Mosquitoes are particularly sensitive to low-brightness purple light of 300nm-400nm, and 360NM ultraviolet light falls right within this range. When the mosquito killer lamp is lit, the 360NM ultraviolet light will attract mosquitoes around. This attraction effect makes it easier for mosquitoes to approach the mosquito killer lamp, thereby increasing the chance of being caught.
Trapping effect: The mosquito killer lamp not only uses 360NM ultraviolet light to attract mosquitoes, but also combines other technologies to kill mosquitoes. Common designs of mosquito killer lamps include high-voltage power grids or high-speed fans. When mosquitoes are attracted by 360NM ultraviolet light and approach the mosquito killer lamp, if the mosquito killer lamp is equipped with a high-voltage power grid, the mosquitoes will be electrocuted to death once they touch the power grid. If the mosquito killer lamp is designed with a high-speed fan, the mosquitoes will be sucked in by the strong airflow and dried to death.
High efficiency: Since mosquitoes are particularly sensitive to 360NM ultraviolet rays, this wavelength of ultraviolet rays can ensure that the mosquito killer lamp effectively attracts mosquitoes over a larger range. For a mosquito killer lamp suitable for an area of 40 to 100 square meters, a 360NM ultraviolet light source can ensure sufficient attraction and coverage. In addition, compared with other mosquito killing methods (such as mosquito coils, mosquito liquids, etc.), the mosquito killer lamp can continue to work for hours or even days without replacing or adding any substances, which is more efficient and convenient.
Safety: Although ultraviolet rays also have certain potential effects on the human body, 360NM ultraviolet rays belong to long-wave ultraviolet rays (UVA), which have relatively weak penetration. It will not penetrate deep into the skin and cause long-term damage to the human body. However, long-term direct exposure to ultraviolet light sources may still cause certain damage to the skin. Therefore, when using a mosquito killer lamp, it is recommended to place it away from the human body and pets, and avoid direct viewing of the light source for a long time.
The 360NM ultraviolet rays of the mosquito killer lamp can efficiently and safely reduce the number of mosquitoes through attraction and trapping, providing people with a more comfortable living environment.
