Is the blue -purple light of the mosquito -extinguishing lamp an ultraviolet?

answer:

Purple light and ultraviolet rays do not have a clear boundary line, so I can only say that it is not.

The mosquito -extinguishing lamp is a instrument that mainly uses mosquito to kill mosquitoes. Mosquito is shining on the light of a certain band, so we can use specific light sources to attract mosquitoes, and then capture or kill mosquitoes in combination with other means. Experiments show that for mosquitoes, the best band of lighting is roughly near 370nm, and the light source used in related products on the market is roughly between 360nm-410Nm, which is probably the range of purple or near-ultraviolet light.

The main difference between mosquito -extinguishing lamps is its way of killing mosquitoes. There are four main ways to kill mosquito lamps: electric shock type, attract mosquitoes until the lamp is shocked by high -voltage power grid to death; adhesive type, to capture mosquitoes that fly into mosquito lamps by non -toxic sticky glue; The manufacturing airflow makes it unable to fly out of the mosquito -extinguishing lamp; the photocatalytic type. In addition to the ultraviolet rays, this light can also be used to create carbon dioxide through photocatalytic reactions to attract mosquitoes.
