Garden Mosquito Killer Lamp with Rotating Shutter and Air Blowers

The problem

Many outdoor areas suffer from mosquitoes, especially near gardens and patios where people gather. Standard bug zappers are often unsightly, noisy, and disrupt the aesthetic of a landscaped environment. Conversely, regular garden lights attract pests without controlling them, leading to swarms around the bulb and reduced comfort for users. There is a need for a device that blends seamlessly into outdoor decor while providing effective pest control on demand.

The solution

1. The device centers on a mounting seat (1) with a bottom plate (11), support column (12), and top plate (13).
2. An illumination lamp (2) sits on the top plate, enclosed by an inner protective shell (4) made of transparent toughened glass.
3. Surrounding the light is a mosquito repelling assembly (3), consisting of an electric mosquito net (31) mounted on a fixing base (32) at the bottom area.
4. An outer protective shell (5), also transparent glass, encloses the assembly. It contains multiple through holes (511) for mosquitoes to enter.
5. Inside the space (6) between the shells, air blowers (61) are mounted on the inner wall of the top, blowing air downwards through corresponding vent holes (512).
6. A rotating opening and closing shell (7) sleeves over the outer shell (5). Driven by a motor (82) via gears, it rotates to align or block the through holes (511).

Who it is for

• Landscape Architects: Designers seeking functional fixtures that maintain visual harmony in high-end residential or commercial gardens.
• Residential Homeowners: Individuals wanting discreet pest control for patios, decks, and backyard seating areas without cluttering the space with separate traps.
• Hospitality Venues: Hotels and resorts with outdoor dining or lounge areas that require clean, quiet, and aesthetically pleasing mosquito management solutions.
• Lighting Manufacturers: Companies looking to differentiate their product lines by adding integrated smart pest-control features to standard bollard or path lights.

How it works

The main parts

Operating steps

1. Activation: When mosquito control is needed, the motor (82) drives the rotating shell (7) to align its connecting holes (711) with the static through holes (511) of the outer shell (5).
2. Attraction: Mosquitoes are drawn to the light (2) by phototaxis.
3. Entry & Descent: Bugs fly through the aligned holes into the repelling space (6). The air blowers (61) create a downward airflow, forcing the mosquitoes toward the electric net (31) at the bottom.
4. Elimination: Contact with the electrified net kills the mosquitoes, which then fall into the collection area.
5. Deactivation: To use the lamp as a standard light source, the motor rotates shell (7) to block the holes (511), preventing air flow and bug entry.

Applications

Residential Patios and Decks

Homeowners install these lamps along walkways or near seating areas. The rotating shutter allows them to turn off the trapping mechanism during dinner parties to reduce noise or airflow disturbance, switching it back on later for continuous protection.

Hotel Outdoor Lounges

High-end hotels use these fixtures to maintain ambiance. The glass construction looks like premium landscape lighting. Staff can schedule the shutter rotation to ensure active trapping during peak evening hours when guests are most likely to be seated outdoors.

Commercial Landscaping Projects

Property managers for office parks or retail plazas utilize these units to control pest populations in green spaces. The durable glass shells withstand weather conditions, and the dual-functionality reduces the need for installing both decorative lights and separate industrial zappers.

Garden Path Lighting

Installed along footpaths, these lamps provide visibility while reducing the swarm of insects that typically surrounds standard LEDs. The downward air flow helps keep the immediate vicinity clear of flying pests without requiring chemical sprays.

Where it is less suitable

• Heavy Rain/Wind Areas: While the shells protect components, extreme weather might affect the motor’s ability to rotate the shutter smoothly if debris accumulates in the sliding track.
• Non-Mosquito Pests: The design relies on phototaxis specific to mosquitoes; it may not effectively capture larger flies or moths that behave differently around light sources.
• Low-Ceiling Indoors: This is an outdoor-rated fixture; using it indoors may pose safety risks regarding electrical exposure and airflow direction.
