Abstract
The present invention relates to a pest repelling, killing, and/or damaging UV light-emitting device (100) comprising—a housing (200),—a control element (110) configured to output a control signal (111), and—a UV light-emitting element (115) configured to emit, in response to the control signal (111), far-UVC light (125) thereby repelling, killing, and/or damaging one or more pests, e.g. or in particular mosquitos, irradiated by the emitted far-UVC light (125).
Claims21
A pest repelling UV light-emitting device comprising
- a housing,
- a control element configured to output a control signal, and
- a UV light-emitting element configured to emit, in response to the control signal, far-UVC light thereby repelling one or more pests, e.g. or in particular mosquitos, irradiated by the emitted far-UVC light, wherein the UV light emitting element is or comprises a light source device, the light source device comprising
- at least one pump laser/pump source configured to emit light at a first predetermined wavelength, and
- an electromagnetic radiation frequency, or equivalent wavelength, converter,
- wherein
- a guiding module of the electromagnetic radiation frequency, or equivalent wavelength, converter is configured to receive and guide at least a part of the emitted light from the at least one pump laser light source, and
- an output light signal has a second predetermined wavelength different from the first predetermined wavelength.
