Maximal Light Output

The Model 1012 trap emits 75% more light than any other incandescent trap on the market. New ABS formed rainshield and clear acrylic body reflects and transmits light downward like a street light as well as straight out. The new PhotoSwitch, unlike any on the market today delivers 100% of battery voltage to the light and motor. This means the incandescent bulb delivers a bright and white light as designed, not a yellowish light with most energy lost as heat (infrared).

Maximal Air Flow

The new PhotoSwitch delivering 100% of battery voltage means motor RPM’s are ca. 20% greater than other miniature light traps using PhotoSwitches. Coupled with our low-silhouette grill, air flow in substantially superior to other models.

Easy To Use

The trap can be programmed into the various modes without a magnifying glass or tweezers… and, no jumpers to lose. The motor can be replaced with only a screwdriver.

Internal Programmable PhotoSwitch

The internal programmable photoswitch can control any combination of motor and/or light on and off at dusk and dawn.

Requirements

The trap draw is 0.5 Amps/hour at 6 volts.
A Sealed, Gelled-Electrolyte Battery, 6 volt, 12 Amp Hours (PN: 2.30),
Or a Four D-cell External Battery Holder (PN: 1.50) with alkaline D-cells,
Or a Constant Voltage Power Supply (CVPS) (PN: 8.07) that will allow the trap to operate on any voltage between 4 and 24 VDC. Using this in concert with alkaline D-cells enables 100% fan and light output while using 95% of the batteries’ capacity. The CPVS would also enable you to use the light weight and compact Li-ion battery case and batteries (PNs 1.40 & 2.10).
