Stalgast Outdoor Insecticidal Lamp with Fan

An insecticidal lamp draws flying insects towards a UV light source, where a quiet but powerful fan pulls them into a collection container they cannot escape. The method relies on the insects' natural attraction to ultraviolet wavelengths, which the lamp emits continuously without chemicals or odours. Because the fan creates a steady airflow, insects are drawn in from a wide area and trapped before they can reach food, work surfaces or customers. The process is silent and requires no intervention once the lamp is switched on, making it suitable for outdoor dining areas, patios and service entrances where noise and fumes would be disruptive.

To use the lamp, hang it from a wall bracket or ceiling hook at a height that places the UV source within the insects' flight path. Plug the unit into a 230 V outdoor-rated socket; the one-metre power cord allows some flexibility in positioning. Once powered, the lamp and fan start immediately. Insects are drawn to the light, pulled into the airflow and deposited in the container beneath the fan. The container is removed periodically for emptying and cleaning, which takes only a few seconds.

The housing is made of fireproof plastic that resists weather and ultraviolet degradation. An IPX4 waterproof rating ensures the lamp can operate in rain and splashes without electrical hazard. The design includes no moving parts other than the fan, so maintenance is limited to wiping the housing and replacing the UV lamp after approximately 8,000 hours of use.

A power rating of 0.4 kW indicates the load the lamp places on the electrical circuit; this is a modest draw suitable for a single outdoor socket on a dedicated spur. The 230 V requirement matches standard UK outdoor circuits. The footprint of 320 mm by 580 mm allows the lamp to be mounted in narrow passageways or above doorways without obstructing foot traffic. The unit's weight is low enough for single-handed installation on most wall or ceiling fixings.

Cleaning involves unplugging the lamp, wiping the housing with a damp cloth to remove dust and insects, and emptying the collection container. The UV lamp itself is replaced when its output dims, typically after several seasons of use. No lubrication or adjustment is required.

The lamp is supplied as a single model without variants. It is designed for outdoor use only and is not intended for indoor fly control.
