Giridhar Pai Associates (GPA) launched the FLYght Duo UV LED fly catcher in July 2021, and it quickly became a leading Indian UV LED fly catcher. Hundreds of customers have purchased the FLYght Duo, basing their buying decisions on its unique features.
In this blog post, we list twelve reasons why customers choose the FLYght Duo for their fly management programs.
- Lightweight: Weighing just 1.75 kg, the FLYght Duo is lightweight, easy to carry, install, and maintain, making it a popular choice for customers seeking a portable and user-friendly trap.
- Long-lasting LEDs: The FLYght Duo’s UV-LEDs last 50,000 hours, helping customers avoid LED replacement for five years. In contrast, fly catchers with UV fluorescent tubes require annual replacement.
- Enhanced fly attraction for better performance: The FLYght Duo’s patented bio-Visual Enhancer (bio-VE+) insert works in tandem with eight UV LEDs to attract more flies than conventional Insect Light Traps (ILTs). The bio-VE+ insert enhances the FLYght Duo’s UV-A wavelength and intensity, attracting more houseflies to the trap and ensuring its optimal performance in fly monitoring.
- Discreetly hidden glue boards: The FLYght Duo’s two glue boards are invisible from the outside, making the trap resemble a light fixture. In contrast, commonly used fly killers display dead insects stuck to electric grids, and fly catchers often show numerous dead flies on their glue boards. Seeing dead flies in insect light traps can be off-putting for customers and lead to poor hygiene ratings of the premises.
- Ease of service: A technician can open the FLYght Duo with one hand while standing on a ladder and using their other hand for support. As demonstrated in the video below, the FLYght Duo is very easy to open and maintain, even for traps installed approximately five feet above the ground.
- Power cost savings: The FLYght Duo consumes only 28% of the power used by two 30W UV fluorescent tube ILTs and 20% of the power used by three 45W UV fluorescent tube ILTs, resulting in significant electricity cost savings for fly monitoring. Details regarding the FLYght Duo’s electricity and other maintenance cost savings can be found on its dedicated webpage on our website.
- Maintenance-free finish: The FLYght Duo’s aluminum body requires no painting to maintain its shiny and attractive appearance for years. Made of aluminum, the FLYght Duo is also rust-resistant.
- Compact: The FLYght Duo’s UV LEDs allow for a compact design with dimensions of 510 mm (length) x 270 mm (width) x 95 mm (depth). Further specifications of the FLYght Duo can be found on its dedicated webpage on our website.
- Glass-free: Its glass-free construction makes the FLYght Duo ideal for the food and pharmaceutical industries. The glass policy in these industries mandates the minimization of all non-essential glass components. Conventional ILTs use glass UV fluorescent tubes that require a plastic sleeve for safety. While these sleeves contain the glass in case of breakage, they also reduce UV emission. Furthermore, these plastic sleeves gradually degrade upon exposure to UV-A light from the trap.
- Unique glue-board placement: Because the FLYght Duo’s glue boards are positioned away from the UV LEDs, their adhesive lasts longer and remains effective in trapping flies. In contrast, the UV exposure from fluorescent tubes in conventional fly catchers hardens the glue on the boards, reducing their effectiveness and necessitating more frequent replacements.
- Sleek yet sturdy: The FLYght Duo’s sleek design is achieved through the clever placement of components within a sturdy aluminum shell. This metallic body has ensured that no customers have reported impact damage to their traps.
- Constant UV output: Unlike UV fluorescent tubes, which lose approximately 10% of their UV output monthly and become ineffective after about ten months, the FLYght Duo’s UV LEDs maintain a consistent UV-A intensity throughout their 50,000-hour lifespan. This constant output, combined with the long lifespan, means customers don’t need to worry about replacing the UV LEDs for over five years, during which time the LEDs will continue to perform optimally in attracting flies to the trap.
Extensive information about the product can be found on the FLYght Duo product page on our website and in the FLYght Duo videos on our YouTube channel.
We have diligently created marketing materials that provide detailed information about the FLYght Duo’s product features, usage, and maintenance.
Recognizing that UV LED fly catchers were a relatively new concept for customers, we even created a unique time-lapse video showcasing the FLYght Duo attracting and trapping flies within a controlled test chamber.
This groundbreaking video highlights the speed and effectiveness of the FLYght Duo’s fly-catching capabilities.
