Inside a bug zapping lamp (with schematic).

By popular request, a teardown of a bug zapper lamp. It's got three very distinct sections of circuitry and is quite nicely designed.
Note that this is a 200-250V lamp.
This video is a test video with louder audio.

[@thousandsunny3103]

If I remember correctly, biting bugs, like bed bugs, mosquitoes and such are attracted to heat, not light, which is why they’re such a pain from dusk on, because our bodies heat contrasts with the cold surrounding surfaces more when the sun is down making us more visible to them. Thanks for your videos, they’re wonderful.

[@spicesmuggler2452]

Mosquitos and bedbugs are attracted to CO2 sources, thats the reason why mosquitos love yo buzz around our heads.

It's important to introduce children to electricity early. Regular doses will help them get used to it, so that when they are older they are more sensible around it. Less binge shocking as adults

[@RadioJonophone]

My first experience was at age three or so, sticking one of my mum's knitting needles into an alluring power outlet. This was in the days before those neat little shutters to stop such poking fun. I bounced off the wall on the other side of the room. It must have been a Saturday morning as dad came in to see what the loud bumping crash was. He then took me to one side to teach me about those dangerous volts. I don't think I needed any more lessons after that.

[@TheFlyingScotsmanTV]

i managed to stick my fingers in a socket when I was about 3. I remember doing it. My mum gave me hot sugary tea afterwards. I remember drinking tea before that and liking it. Since then, I can't stand it - even the smell of team makes me want to vomit. Basic pavlovian conditioning in action I suppose - it should be part of the national curriculum. Also it would get rid of tea - which as I might have mentioned, is minging.

Here’s an idea; take the chip off, and rewire the board so there’s one common, and the other leads of the LEDs are brought out individually. Now make a bug-zapping clock out of it, and have the UV LEDs blink on and off at one second intervals like an old-time VCR (until you set the time, anyway.) Fun, fun, and naughty! I’m sure the inventors of this didn’t have a bug-zapping wall clock in mind!

[@lochinvar00465]

Not that it matters because the whole unit is sealed up with plastic, but the one side of the zapper that is connected to mains, it would have little if any voltage if it were connected to the neutral leg. BUT, not sure if you have a neutral leg with your high mains voltage. In the US, we have three wires coming in, two hot and out of phase giving 240 volts between them with a neutral (close to ground) being electrically between them (practically ground altho it is not for use as a ground (it may have up to 3 volts on it) which gives you 120 volts between it and either hot. The standard power mains here is 240 volts which is split with a neutral into two (and out of phase) 120 volt circuits.

I looked for the Hopi on eBay and found ear candles! No doubt used for reading in bed.

[@Drew-Dastardly]

I've tried one of these devices in my back kitchen a few years ago. Unfortunately it didn't zap houseflies, bluebottles and wasps to death but harmless moths, butterflies, and daddy longlegs. The volume of these perfectly innocent insects that where lured in by the light to be zapped and fall into the "death tray" underneath that needs frequent emptying will no doubt provide positive feedback to the owner that this device works great. Disease carrying flies never bother with it, preferring the bin or any food left out or even a roast left resting in the oven (they find their way around the back and up and in). Also the dog shit and cat shit from the neighbourhood. Utterly useless devices. I tend to encourage house spiders instead. Keep the fresh webs and dust away the old ones. ;)

Hi BC, Love the video, still giggling about the "how else are they Going to learn" comment, that is exactly how I got edumikated about lektrizidy. Hopi's hop up on ebay now and then, mine both have data logging software and USB connectivity, they have done away with the speaker terminals so no need for the deathdaptor. I'm surprised by the Hopi readings, I must try mine for accuracy at low currents. Thanks for another great teardown.

[@rwhitenz]

And people will use these with es to b22 adapters there by getting phase directly on the outer mesh. Got a similar one here to play with. Since it's on an rcd and you have to intentionally put your finger I it I call good enough but not something to put in a lamp where a child can reach. As a 3year old I pulled a night light partly out the wall and dropped a 4 inch nail across phase and neutral on a socket with rewritable fuses. Big flash bang lol. One of my first memories lol. Half diameter of nail bunt into prongs of the plug. Old style nz without insulating sleeves. I'm sure one of these lights would be rely entertaining to some 3yo.

[@lightningslim]

Mine arrived today from Bangood, very bright! :) However, it doesn't seem to do the dimming thing. First switch on and you get bug zapper and full brightness (I assume - it is very bright.) Next on/off - same brightness and Bug zapper. Next on/off - bug zapper only. The pcb looks identical. (I checked for a solder bridge on the chip - none.) Re: Chinese translation via google on the IOM - Have you tried using a VPN app to spoof your location? Just a thought :)

[@GadgetBoy]

So, the other day, I was browsing mouser, and I saw a 10 Teraohm resistor. What in blazes would that be for?

[@bigclivedotcom]

Could be for biasing a sensor input.

[@Vilvaran]

Lots of things, two i can think of are measuring femto-amps (for measuring leakage etc.), and by using it in a voltage divider, you can measure really high voltages... I have also read about them being used on the output of ion chambers in radiation detectors / meters...

[@davidprice2861]

Maybe to count electrons.

[@madbstard1]

The second time you powered it up, I was wondering if you would remember to short it out :D Have you ever shocked yourself on one of those devices? Would they give a bad shot?

[@bigclivedotcom]

They do give a sharp stab when you touch them while unplugged but still charged. The pain depends on the route it takes. Up one finger and down another is unpleasant.

[@phils4634]

The "Bug-Zapper" Tennis racquet certainly can (personal experience). Best described as a "mini-Taser" - sharp and painful.

[@madbstard1]

Have been zapped by the racquet ones a few times (drunken games) and never found it too bad. But dunno if I'd fancy getting a hit from a mains powered one.

[@Chuckiele]

I find getting zapped by mains kinda pleasant, but I resist the temptation to do it on purpose.

[@313Games]

[@corareyez5659]

Omg dude i Love the break down of the circuitry but holy Smokes ya killing me with the popping open of the bulb x) they Screw off. Except for the bottom cables ofc. Unless mine's' are different model, which i wouldn't know much but Still gaves me anxiety Seeing the popping off apart the Sections Lol I've been Looking to fix my bilbs as they began to flicker one day and then the function to the Light gor Somewhat wonky. I think i needa resloder Some components. Not Sure which ones though. Ps. Yes. You're correct that the bugs that bite definitely don't pay much mind to the Light. So it's probably counterintuitive to have this bulb Set Up for that reason imo. However, i have Seen a few female mosquito Stuck on the Zappers when i done Some maintenance every now and then. I just know Some aren't fooled, as one day i had to connect tje extension cord to my Lamp desk and chased the Skeeter around my Shed Swinging wildly tryin to make it fly through the bulb haha.

[@jasonbicknell880]

I love your work. Can you do more on lighting and DMX and like a sunlight controller?

[@matthewday7565]

Is there a polarity standard for the ES fitting? It would perhaps make sense for the screw part to be Neutral, as if anyone was changing a bulb without knowing the power was off, it would be easier to make contact with that part. On that assumption, it would be better for that side to be the direct connection to the grid.

[@bobweiss8682]

Yes, the outer screw shell is neutral, the button contact is the hot.

[@jimmybaldino5026]

IR or even just a warm resistor would do a better job at attracting biting bugs. They find you by both scent and body heat

[@petehiggins33]

The question I wanted answering is "does it actually kill flies?". I've tried several of these Chinese bug zappers including the fancy spherical one that Clive tested which sucks them in, but none of them attract houseflies. They only attract small moths during the night (we don't have mosquitoes around here).

[@bigclivedotcom]

In a way attracting the little gold moths is good as otherwise they might feast on clothing.

[@petehiggins33]

My clothing is all made from recycled pop bottles.

[@daxhopkins7312]

The biting ones (mostly female mosquitoes) are mostly attracted to the CO2 we breathe out, with other factors, like body heat and smell, having some effect too, but CO2 is good bait. Some good bug zappers take advantage of this, or you can add an acid to a base (vinegar and bicarbonate of soda is a classic safe one) to get the same gas to attract mosquitoes.

[@disconnect.2860]

one thing that attracts biting insects is a compound called 1-octen-3-ol, found in sweat and the oils produced by the skin

[@daveschmarder-1950]

Last month I bought a Philips "scene switch" bulb, 9/4/2 watts. I'll bet it is the same type of chip in your zapper bulb. I was wondering how that worked. Thanks.

[@Alacritous]

Considering it's a chinese product. The 400 v capacitor is probably a misprint that they got for cheap in bulk lowering their costs. Which would explain their use in a location where you'd imagine that it would fail.

[@bigclivedotcom]

It's definitely not dimmer compatible.

[@Polite_Cat]

@@bigclivedotcom oh yeah, i figured as much

[@wyldflower1nika]

My Zapplight still works on the bug zapping part,but the light doesn't work anymore and if it does decide to work,it flashes on and off and it will not stay on.I have never heard it zap a bug,but the blue light is pretty,but this light is not worth a darn unless you have something blocking it from the outdoor elements and if you do what good is the big zapper part?It will just be hidden behind something where the bugs will not really be able to kill/zap them.I really think my boyfriend wasted $20 or whatever he paid for this bulb. Now by this video it is very nice,but if you buy one,you better have a covered porch.Now I have a bug light and no light to leave on for when I come back home at night.
