You are buying quality, advice, safety, efficiency, technical assistance and the guarantee offered by the market leader for 26 years. You will be assisted by a consultant specialized in your company's segment, who will recommend the best trap model and the most suitable installation locations.

Yes, Ultralight light traps contribute directly and indirectly to Food Safety protocols. In addition to acting as an integral part of the physical barriers required in Good Manufacturing Practices programs, light traps are essential tools for controlling and monitoring flying insects, and an instrument for decision-making related to Integrated Pest Control, in addition to providing extra reinforcement for action at Critical Control Points. In general, Ultralight light traps are great allies for industries seeking to maintain a clean and hygienic production environment, minimize the risk of contamination and comply with Food Safety regulations.

No. Before choosing the model of light trap to buy, it is essential to analyze the environment and speak to an Ultralight consultant specialized in your industry segment. The effectiveness of the light trap can be influenced by several factors, such as the type of industrialized product, the layout of the environment, the arrangement of the machines and the intensity of the lighting. These factors contribute to the presence or absence of a certain species of insect and also to its behavior, and consequently must be considered when choosing the ideal model.

The trap is supplied in cardboard packaging, already assembled and ready for use. However, it is essential to read and follow the recommendations contained in the Instruction Manual before installing it. The trap comes with 1 disposable adhesive plate (refill), which must be replaced with a new refill when 70% of its surface is covered by “stuck” insects.

Ultralight light traps are essential for quality management, helping to ensure that food products are produced in a clean and hygienic environment, free from contamination. They help prevent food contamination by controlling insects that can carry harmful bacteria; maintain food quality and integrity without physical contamination; reduce waste by avoiding the disposal of insect-contaminated products; monitor trends in pest populations; and help comply with Food Safety regulations, contributing to the management of the IPC program.

UV-A fluorescent lamps must be replaced every 8,000 hours of use, even if they appear to be functioning normally. This happens because the phosphor layer (the paint that coats the inside of the tubes) wears away, reducing light emission in the range that attracts flying insects by up to 40%. UV-A LED lamps, on the other hand, do not have a phosphor layer and must be replaced every 16,000 hours.

Lamp protectors (PETG) should be replaced every 8,000 hours of use, approximately 10 months, or sooner if they are scratched, yellowed or damaged. The UV-A light emitted by light traps causes the PETG to wear down, so to ensure effective attraction of flying insects, the used PETG should be replaced with a new one every time the lamps are changed.

The adhesive plates should be replaced with a new refill when 70% of their surface is covered in insects. This usually occurs between 15 and 20 days, but may vary depending on the type of company or time of year. The population of flying insects is higher in the summer, so the replacement period may be shorter at this time.
