The most effective blacklight with the correct UV wavelength.
Many people who install insect lures in their homes, factories, restaurants, or convenience stores may feel that the insect lures they are using are not as effective as they should be because the insects are still flying around the area or the number of insects entering the trap is low, even though the device seems to be working normally. This problem may not be caused by the device itself, but by the Fluorescent Blacklight bulbs being used, which may have UV values that do not match the range that insects respond to, resulting in a significant decrease in insect luring efficiency.
Fluorescent Blacklight is more important than you think.
Insect lures work by using a special type of light bulb that emits UV light to attract insects to fly towards them before they are sucked or trapped inside the device. The light bulb used to lure insects is called Fluorescent Blacklight. Although it is just a light bulb in the device, in fact, this bulb is the heart of the entire operation. If the light bulb used to emit UV light does not match the wavelength that insects can see or feel, the insects will not be interested and will fly past.
There are many ranges of UV light. Insects can only see some of them.
Many people may not know that UV light or ultraviolet radiation does not have just one range, but is divided into 3 main ranges:

If the light bulb used to emit UV light does not match the wavelength that insects can see or feel, the insects will not be interested and will fly past.
There are many ranges of UV light. Insects can only see some of them.
Many people may not know that UV light or ultraviolet radiation does not have just one range, but is divided into 3 main ranges:
- UV-A (315–400 nanometers)
- UV-B (280–315 nanometers)
- UV-C (100–280 nanometers)
For fluorescent blacklight bulbs used to lure insects, they must emit light in the UV-A range, especially in the range of approximately 350–400 nanometers (nm), which is the range that insects respond best to.
Insect lure bulbs are not like normal bulbs and must be manufactured by experts.
Fluorescent blacklight bulbs are not like normal household bulbs because they must be precisely coated with a special type of phosphor powder inside the bulb to control the emission of UV-A light to a range that insects can actually respond to, and must pass efficiency tests before being exported. If bulbs are not manufactured to these standards, even if the insect trap is turned on all day, they will hardly lure insects because the light emitted does not stimulate insects to come near.
How to choose a fluorescent blacklight that really lures insects?
Choosing a fluorescent blacklight bulb for use with an insect trap is not just about looking at the “purple-blue light” or choosing from the cheapest price. Because bulbs that look the same on the outside may have different insect-luring efficiency. Therefore, the following factors should be considered before deciding to buy a fluorescent blacklight bulb:
1. The UV wave value must be accurate.
The bulb used must be able to emit UV-A light waves accurately. Especially in the range of 350–400 nanometers (nm), which is the range that insects respond to the most. If the light wave deviates from this range, even slightly, insects may not see the light at all.
2. The intensity of the UV light must be sufficient.
UV light must have a sufficient intensity, not too weak that insects do not feel “attracted”. Bulbs made of low-quality or substandard materials often have the problem of light intensity falling quickly, even if they have not been used for a long time.
3. Long service life.
Even though the bulb is still on, the UV light inside may deteriorate to the point where it can no longer attract insects. Therefore, you should choose a bulb that clearly states its service life and is of high quality, so that the UV light remains constant until the actual expiration date.
4. Certified by manufacturing standards.
Choose bulbs manufactured by factories that meet standards, such as ISO 9001 or other industrial quality certifications, to ensure that each bulb has been tested and is not a product manufactured without control, such as LeKise.
5. There should be clear information about the bulb on the label.
The packaging or label of the bulb should have clear information, such as the UV wave value, service life, model/wattage, and manufacturer’s name, because the absence of this information often indicates that it is a product that is difficult to check for quality.
6. Reliable after-sales service
Choose a brand that provides continuous customer care. You can contact to inquire or claim the product in case of problems. To ensure that the money you pay is truly worth it. You don't have to risk buying it yourself. LeKise Company has a team to take care of customers after sales. You can contact them easily and quickly.
We recommend Fluorescent Blacklight from LeKise.
It is designed and has meticulously controlled production quality. To respond to the use in insect traps with the highest efficiency, especially in terms of "UV light accuracy" which is an important factor in effectively attracting insects.
Precise UV wavelength control
Uses a special phosphor coating technology inside the lamp, which allows it to emit light in the UV-A wavelength range that insects respond best to.

- Lekise Fluorescent Blacklight (purple line) has a clear peak at around 365 nanometers (nm), which is in the range of 350–400 nanometers (nm) that insects respond best to light.
Produced under ISO 9001 factory standards
Every bulb undergoes a manufacturing process under an internationally certified quality system and is inspected for quality at every step before being delivered to customers.
Long-lasting, worth the investment
The bulbs have a long service life and maintain their UV emission efficiency consistently, not easily deteriorating.
After-sales service by a team of experts
In addition to producing standard products, Lekise also emphasizes after-sales service, providing professional care and consultation on selection.
Effective insect luring is not just about having a good insect trap. The important thing is the Fluorescent Blacklight bulb, which must be able to emit UV light in the range that insects actually respond to. If you choose low-quality or substandard bulbs, insects will not be attracted, resulting in reduced insect luring efficiency. Therefore, users should be careful to choose bulbs that have passed quality control, have clear technical information, and have been certified by reliable manufacturers, such as LeKise, a long-standing lighting expert. We pay attention to every production step and have a strict quality control system before delivering to customers every time to ensure that every bulb has the highest insect luring efficiency and is safe to use in all areas.
