  • Patent number: 11412727
    Abstract: Problems associated with the use of fluorescent tubes in insect traps are resolved by providing a replacement lamp array employing multiple sets of light emitting diodes that each emit light at different specific wavelengths and are positioned within a one or more translucent sleeves having a surface coated with an environmentally safe light diffusion material creating a pattern comprising areas of more intense light dominated by the light cast by a single LED separated by areas of less intense light.

  • Patent number: 10973217
    Abstract: Insect capture is improved by providing a glue board having an adhesive coating on its front surface and forming a pattern of insect attractant UV light on that front surface. That pattern includes areas of bright UV light generated by light-emitting diodes that generate light at different wavelengths behind and visible through the glue board by flying insects, dimmer areas of light generated by said light emitting diodes that bounces off other portions of the device onto the glue board, and areas of shadow on the glue board where no or little light from said light-emitting diodes is present.
