LepiLED is a small, robust, light and highly efficient LED lamp, which is specially developed to trap nocturnal insects.
The light is emitted by eight Nichia LEDs and shines in the three frequencies that attract absolutely the most insects (UV, blue and green), these frequencies shine at the same time, on this model you can also switch on UV mode to draw less battery or if you don't want to disturb the neighbor too much... Since nocturnal insects react most strongly to UV radiation, four of the LEDs shine in UV at a frequency of 365 nm (invisible to humans). As it easily connects to a Powerbank, it is very easy to transport between locations. It is so small that it can easily be taken on trips abroad. LepiLED has a passive cooling system and is made of anodized aluminum and around the lamps sits a 3 mm thick borosilicate glass cylinder with a long lifespan. The lamp is IP 65/67 weatherproof and is therefore resistant to moisture. The emitted radiation is intense and mixed for some people. Therefore, avoid looking into the lamp for long periods and preferably stand a little distance away. LepiLED can be operated with a voltage between 5 and 13 V DC (Maxi Switch “UV mode“: 5–9 V) The lamp has a 2 meter long cable with USB connector and is optimized for use with 5 V power bank batteries. Depending on their size, power bank batteries can provide lighting times between 6 and 12 hours and on the Mini Switch model as long as just over 20 hours! A Powerbank capable of fast charging QC 3.0 (Quick Charge) is recommended!
Maxi Switch VS Mini Switch, which should I choose?
According to a survey presented at the beginning of 2022, the LepiLed maxi Switch attracts 37 percent more moths than the mini Switch, but this only applies in open landscapes. In forest landscapes and other sheltered places, the mini switch works just as effectively. The advantage of the mini is that it consumes 30 percent less energy, so the battery lasts longer.
