Abstract:
Systems, devices, and methods for using insect traps with combinations of dual multi-colored lights combining blue/green LED (light emitting diodes) with UV (ultraviolet) LEDs (light emitting diodes) for attracting insects to the lights and capturing the insects. The blue/green LED can emit at a wavelength of approximately 450 nm to approximately 550 nm in an approximately 180 degrees spread therefrom, and each side UV LED can emit at a wavelength of approximately 365 nm in an approximately 180 degrees spread therefrom. The combinations of multi-color lights can be mounted on one side of a module/fixture, and/or be mounted on opposite side faces of a module fixture. The combinations can use one centrally located blue/green LED with at least one right UV LED to a right side of the centrally located blue/green LED, and at least one left UV LED to a left side of the centrally located blue/green LED. Embodiments can include use on a sticky paper/card, in a housing with fan, and collection tray, and in an electrical gride of wires having a collection tray and sand mesh bag with an approximately 340 micron mesh screen. Embodiments include a plurality of UV (ultraviolet) LEDs (light emitting diodes) greater than the plurality of blue-green LEDs (light emitting diodes).
