This device attracts mosquitoes thanks to mosquito-irresistible UV light emitted by UV leds.
The beasts then get caught in the descending air flow created by a very silent Arctic fan, and they finally dry to death.
Only 4 bolts hold all the parts together.
No chemicals involved, no sound, ideal device for quiet nights and stingless outdoor dinners.
You'll need:
- twelve UV leds, 5mm diameter
- four 100 ohms resistors
- one 12V 120mm Arctic fan ARCTIC F12 Silent (about $7 a piece on amazon
- one 12V power supply
- one small switch
- one power socket
- a piece of mosquito screen
- four M4 bolts
I've mounted in parallel four groups of 3 leds, each group with one 100 ohm resistor so that if one led burns, the other groups won't suffer.
