The entolight mini is a smaller version of the original entolight. It was built to consume significantly less power. It has half the amount of LEDs, and the 16 watt resistors were replaced with 10 watt resistors. The mini and a 100 watt-hour laptop power bank (not included) can be packed in carry-on luggage during air travel. This will provide 6-7 hours of lighting anywhere in the world.
LED blacklights have a high efficacy at attracting insects. learn more
entolights can be powered by outlets, portable generators, portable power stations & laptop power banks.
Laptop power banks of 100 watt-hours or less can be taken on airplanes and used with entolights anywhere in the world.

Moon, UVA, & Insects
Night-flying insects, such as beetles and moths, use the moon’s light to orient themselves when flying, specifically the UV spectrum. Longwave UV (UVA) is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength between 315 and 400 nm. UVA is closest to the visible spectrum and safest for our eyes. Multiple studies have shown that the exact wavelength of UVA light isn’t signficant, as all blacklights attract similar numbers of insects. Regardless, the entolight has LEDs of both 365nm and 395nm, to help cover as much of the UVA spectrum as possible with modern LED technology.
Caution
UV
It’s recommended to avoid looking directly at UV light, and to wear some kind of UV protective glasses when using blacklights.
Heat
There’s a high density of LEDs on entolight. It will get “hot” to the touch. It’s a common misconception that LEDs run cool.
