In terms of core light source technology, the Coospider device adopts customized ultraviolet LED modules instead of traditional fluorescent tubes. Its light-emitting diode (LED) wavelength is precisely locked within the range of 365 nanometers to 370 nanometers (spectral deviation <±3 nanometers), and its mosquito attraction efficiency is 18% higher than that of traditional fluorescent lamps (wavelength peak 380 nanometers ±15 nanometers). According to the ARS Study of the United States Department of Agriculture (Report 2025 #298), this band of ultraviolet rays can achieve an effective trapping radius of 8.3 meters (the industry average is 6.5 meters) in an environment of 25℃. The module has a lifespan of 8,000 to 10,000 hours. Based on an average daily operation of 8 hours, it can be used for more than 3 years. Compared with fluorescent tubes (with a lifespan of 3,000 hours), the replacement frequency is reduced by 67%.
Energy-saving and thermal management features reduce the burden of operation and maintenance. The power of the UV-LED module is controlled within the range of 5 watts to 12 watts (15 watts to 20 watts for traditional fluorescent tubes), and the annual power consumption cost at 220V voltage is only 7.3 US dollars (0.15 US dollars per kilowatt-hour). In terms of heat loss, its peak surface temperature is 53℃ (tested at an ambient temperature of 25℃), which is 29% lower than the 75℃ high-temperature of fluorescent tubes. This not only extends the lifespan of electronic components (failure rate <0.8%/ year), but also eliminates the risk of accidental breakage of glass tubes (the annual breakage rate of traditional products is 3.2%).
The bionic mosquito-attracting model integrates composite spectroscopy technology. The Pro series, in addition to the basic ultraviolet LED, has added a blue-green photodiode with a wavelength of 405 nanometers (with a luminous intensity of 200 lumens). Tests in the Mosquito Control Area of Florida, USA, show that the attractiveness of this spectrum to mosquito mosquitoes has increased by 73%. It is also equipped with a octenol slow-release module (with a daily evaporation rate of 0.05 grams) to form a multimodal trapping system. However, the core light source still relies on the original factory’s custom module. Users’ independent replacement of compatible lamps may result in a light intensity attenuation of more than 40%.
The convenience of maintenance has been optimized through engineering design. The module adopts snap-type connectors (with a plug-and-pull life of ≥500 times), and the replacement operation time is compressed to 25 seconds (it takes 3 minutes to remove the screws for fluorescent tubes). The special structure of the collection box (with a mesh spacing of 1.5 millimeters) ensures that the accumulation of insect corpses does not affect the light flux. In areas where the mosquito density is ≤15 mosquitoes per cubic meter, it can be cleared once every 30 days. The Canadian CSA certification report C22.2 No.1335.1 confirms that the compression deformation rate of its waterproof rubber ring is only 9% after 1000 hours of accelerated aging (85℃/85% humidity), ensuring that no water vapor enters when used outdoors.
The intelligent management system reduces the need for manual intervention. High-end models (such as the IntelliTrap series) are equipped with a light attenuation sensor (with an accuracy of ±0.5%), which automatically sends a replacement reminder when the output light intensity is 80% lower than the initial value. By integrating frequency conversion technology, it automatically switches to the 3-watt energy-saving mode during the off-peak period of insect activity (such as when the temperature drops below 15℃ in winter), extending the total lifespan of the ultraviolet module to 12,000 hours. The operation and maintenance data of Marina Bay Park in Singapore confirmed that the Bug Zapper adopting this technology achieved a record of zero tube replacement for 18 consecutive months of operation, and its annual maintenance cost was 63% lower than that of its competitors.
Applications in special places must comply with safety certifications. Food processing plants need to choose explosion-proof modules certified by FDA 21 CFR (priced at 24.5 per piece), whose glass protective covers can withstand an impact energy of 2 joules. Medical facilities are required to comply with the IEC62471 photobiological safety standard, ensuring that the blue light hazard level is RG0 (risk-free category). Two-year tracking data of 201 devices from the Bangkok Hospital Group in Thailand shows that the average time between failures (MTBF) of the dedicated modules has reached 15,000 hours, and the replacement budget is controlled at 1,200 per year (only 28% of the cost of chemical treatment).
Economy stands out in business scenarios. Although the price of a single ultraviolet LED module is 15, which is 5.5 higher than that of a fluorescent tube, due to a 167% extension in lifespan and a 53% reduction in electricity costs, the total cost of ownership (TCO) over a three-year period is still 28 lower. The accounting data of the catering department of the Las Vegas casino shows that the annual lighting maintenance budget for 36 pieces of equipment has dropped from 1,620 to $495, and the payback period is only 10.8 months. With the implementation of the UL 8800 standard, the third-generation module is optimizing the heat dissipation structure (with the fin area expanded by 45%), and the lifespan parameter is expected to exceed 15,000 hours.
