T/CSA 075-2023 Outdoor UV LED Mosquito Killer Light Technical Specification

Scope

Main technical content: LED, as a new type of light source, has injected new impetus into the development of pest light attraction and control technology. LED has a narrow wavelength range, a single light color, high brightness, low energy consumption, and long lifespan, making it the best light source for attracting pests. LED mosquito killers have also become important tools for vector monitoring and control, with an increasingly wide range of applications. The single-wavelength LED light source not only solves the problems of traditional light sources with a broad spectral range and poor pest targeting, but also has higher light intensity and a larger coverage area under the same energy consumption compared to other light sources, providing a wider control range and greatly improving the target pest attraction rate while reducing potential harm to natural enemies and neutral insects. CSAS has developed and published a technical report T/CSA/TR 012-2023 on the application of LED lighting in mosquito control, as well as an indoor application standard T/CSA 073-2021 on the performance requirements of indoor UV LED mosquito killers. The use environment of outdoor LED mosquito killers is more complex than that of indoor ones, as conditions such as sunlight, temperature, humidity, and airflow are prone to change, leading to potential errors in trapping effects. Outdoor LED mosquito killers also need to consider factors such as human and animal safety, target insect trapping rate (benefit-harm ratio), environmental adaptability, and waterproof requirements. Based on these considerations, CSAS has developed T/CSA 075, which specifies the classification, technical requirements, and test methods for outdoor UV LED mosquito killers, applicable to outdoor mosquito killers using auxiliary LED UV trapping methods such as odor, CO2, and temperature.
