## Abstract

There is disclosed an insect trapping light which includes a visible light housing defining a visible light chamber and an insect trapping housing defining a separate UV light chamber. The visible light housing includes a floor having a matrix white light LEDs on one side while the insect trapping housing includes a plurality of UV LEDs mounted on the floor other side. The visible light housing also includes a rectangular frame, a translucent light diffuser plate and a translucent logo plate. The diffuser plate is mounted to the frame such that there are no gaps that enable an insect to enter the visible light housing. The insect trapping housing includes a mounting plate and an adhesive board with removable adhesive strips.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An insect trap light comprising:
a visible light housing portion having a floor, sidewalls extending from said floor, and a translucent light diffuser plate, the combination of the floor, sidewalls and light diffuser plate creating an enclosed visible light chamber;
a visible light source mounted within said visible light chamber;
an insect trapping housing portion having a mounting plate coupled to said visible light housing portion creating an ultraviolet light chamber, said insect trapping housing portion being outside said enclosed visible light chamber;
wherein said light diffuser plate is considered a front surface, said mounting plate is considered a rear surface, and said ultraviolet light chamber includes side openings extending between said front surface and said rear surface;
an ultraviolet light source mounted within said ultraviolet light chamber, and
an adhesive board removably mounted within said ultraviolet light chamber.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The insect trap light of claim 1 wherein said side openings of said ultraviolet light chamber extend between said mounting plate and said visible light housing portion.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The insect trap light of claim 1 further comprising a logo plate overlying said light diffuser plate.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The insect trap light of claim 3 wherein said logo plate includes a layer of decorative graphic.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The insect trap light of claim 4 wherein said layer of decorative graphic is a layer of polymer material.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The insect trap light of claim 1 wherein said visible light source is a plurality of white light emitting diodes.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The insect trap light of claim 6 wherein said ultraviolet light source is a plurality of ultraviolet light emitting diodes.
