U.V. LED LAMPS (1 Watt to 12 Watt)


NO BALLASTS NEEDED.  12V types or 230V mains (for safety, run via a 30mA RCD).  MR16 (12V) lamp connectors and leads available, see below.  LONG running times on 12V  batteries (SLA & Lithium, etc.) - Mix UV (368nm) / PURPLE (400nm) / BLUE (470nm) / GREEN (540nm) / DAYLIGHT on the same trap to tailor the spectrum to your own trap requirements (as with actinics and synergetics). - A  detailed research article, by Gunnar Brehm, with all UV sources -  HERE:
SPECIAL OFFER ON U.V. Safety Specs bought with LEDs (SEE BELOW). LAMPS ARE 1Watt PER LED (3W = 3 LEDs, etc.) The UV lamps produce the highest readings I have ever seen on my UV meter. Output is impressive, but directional. Most of the lamps need protection from rain. *WARNING* VERY STRONG U.V.  - EYE PROTECTION RECOMMENDED (UV Block Specs).
12V SOLAR SWITCH & REMOTE CONTROL UNITS AVAILABLE. See below.
NOTE: Like many electronic devices today, the 230V AC lamps are rated 85 - 250V a.c. and would probably have a longer running life, at 110-115V a.c. So can be run from 110V transformers.
Photos below show 3W (12V) lamps being used in Ecuador 2018 (Guy Broome).
