Sylvania offers a powerful arsenal of insect attraction UV-A lights which have been specifically developed inline with some of the biggest insect control unit manufacturers to ensure the high performance and effectiveness of their insect control units.
How do insect attraction lights work?
All insect control units rely on the fundamental phenomenon that flying insects are attracted to long wave UV-A radiation. Sylvania's BL368 insect attraction lights have been developed to have a narrow band of UV-A output which is concentrated round the spectral peak of 368nm, which is widely accepted as the most important frequency for the attraction of flying insects.
About UV-A light
The light spectrum between 10-400 nanometers is called UV light. This interval is divided into 3 sections depending on the wavelength: UV-A, UV-B and UV-C. From 315 to 400 nm, the light spectrum is named UV-A, but also called long-wave UV, black light or soft UV. UV-A is present in natural sunlight as well, and it is able to come through the ozone layer.
