Stalgast Insect Killer Lamp for 80 m² Areas

An insect killer lamp attracts flying pests with ultraviolet light and eliminates them on a high-voltage grid. The ultraviolet spectrum mimics natural light that insects seek, drawing them towards the lamp. Once close enough, they contact an electrified grid that delivers a lethal charge, instantly stopping the infestation without chemicals or odours. This method is continuous and silent, requiring no consumables beyond the occasional cleaning of the grid and replacement of the UV tubes after extended use.

The operator mounts the unit on a wall or ceiling bracket, ensuring it is positioned away from competing light sources and at a height where flying insects are most active. After connecting the lamp to a 230 V supply, it begins operating immediately, emitting ultraviolet light and activating the grid. No further adjustment is needed; the lamp runs unattended, capturing and killing insects throughout its coverage area. The housing remains cool to the touch, reducing fire risk in busy kitchens.

The housing is constructed from fireproof plastic, chosen for its durability and resistance to heat and moisture. The front panel is removable for access to the internal components, including the ultraviolet tubes and the electrified grid. The unit's compact dimensions allow it to fit into tight spaces without obstructing workflow, while its lightweight design simplifies installation and repositioning.

Controls are minimal: a single power switch turns the lamp on or off. The ultraviolet tubes operate at a fixed intensity, requiring no adjustment. The 2x0.4 kW power rating indicates the load on the electrical circuit, which must be capable of supplying the combined demand without overloading. The 230 V voltage matches standard UK mains power, allowing the lamp to be plugged into any compliant socket or hardwired into the kitchen's electrical system.

The stated coverage of 80 m² defines the area over which the lamp effectively attracts and kills insects. This makes it suitable for medium-sized kitchens, food preparation areas, or storage rooms where flying pests are a concern. The dimensions of 437 mm wide, 100 mm deep, and 265 mm high ensure the unit occupies minimal wall space, while its weight allows for secure mounting without requiring reinforced brackets.

Cleaning involves removing the front panel to access the grid and ultraviolet tubes. The grid should be wiped down regularly to remove insect debris, ensuring optimal performance. The ultraviolet tubes, with a lifespan of approximately 20,000 hours, will need replacement after prolonged use, though this is infrequent. The fireproof plastic housing can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent, avoiding abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.

The lamp is designed for professional environments where hygiene and pest control are critical. Its construction and operation align with the demands of commercial kitchens, offering a reliable and low-maintenance solution to flying insect problems.
