Miniature UVA-LED Model 1612The UVA-LED Light Trap (Model 1612) is based on two years of research into the use of near ultra-violet radiation (UVA, peak wavelength of ca. 361 nm) for the attraction of hematophagous insects using light emitting diodes (LEDs).  This research led to the development of the Stealth Trap (Model 2014) for our US Department of Defense and now to a civilian version, the model 1612.  The 1612 uses 6.3 VDC and consumes only 300 mAmps. The trap has a almost twice the runtime of the Miniature Incandescent Light Trap Model 1012 and three times the runtime of the Blacklight (UV) Model 1212.
