The Miniature Downdraft Blacklight (UV) Trap Model 912 is
similar to the CDC Miniature Light Trap, but
includes a blacklight tube support and ballast. Blacklight
(UV) aids in attracting a greater number and diversity of mosquito
species, Culicoides, and Phlebotomines.
The Miniature Downdraft Blacklight (UV)
Trap Model 912 is similar to the CDC Miniature
Light Trap, but includes a blacklight tube
support and ballast which runs at 12 volts. This trap is
capable of once-a-day tending when fitted with the optionally
available PhotoSwitch (LCS-2) and Air-Actuated Gate System.
When configured with a switch and gate, it is possible to
collect for 2 or 3 nights with only one trip to the trap.
BlackLight (UV)
The utility of blacklight (UV) in attracting
a greater number and diversity of mosquito species, Culicoides,
and Phlebotomines is well known. Our UV traps employ
a 4 Watt blue-blacklight tube and a very efficient transistorized
inverter-ballast to provide radiation in the near-UV range
(ca. 320-420 nm). The special inverter ballast is able to
start the 4-Wt blue blacklight tube at battery voltages a
low as 9.5 VDC. The blacklight system is identical to the
one used in the CDC Fay-Prince Model 812 and Updraft
Model 1312 Blacklight (UV) Traps.
