Downdraft Blacklight (UV) Trap
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.
Highlights
- Specific for Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus adults of both sexes.
- 4 Watt blue-blacklight tube draws superior catch results.
- Use with collection bag or killing jar.
- Downdraft fan keeps catch in the collection bag.
- Available in a similar CDC Miniature (Incandescent) Light Trap Model 512.

Design Characteristics
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.
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-W 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.
