LumiTrap : 3D-Printed Solar UV Bug Trap for Eco-Friendly Pest Control

This device uses a specialised 365nm spectrum UV LED to attract flying insects and a fan to capture them in a trap, all powered entirely by solar energy. It features a built-in light sensor (LDR) that automatically activates the system at night, following a smart cycle. Initially, the UV light turns on to silently lure bugs for 60 seconds and is then followed by a brief activation of the fan for 30 seconds to capture them. This cycle repeats throughout the night and stops at sunrise, The batteries are recharged by solar panels, making the system highly sustainable and low-maintenance. This project features a fully 3D-printed design. Users can place oil in the bottom tray to trap captured insects, which can then be easily removed and washed after use.
