The entoquip light USB is a smaller version of our original light (replacing the mini). It has a 5 volt USB-A connection, consumes 12 watts of electricity, and has 120 individual light diodes. A 100 watt-hour 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!
Note: The USB light draws 2.4 amps. Some smaller power banks are limited to 2 amps and won’t power this light.

The entoquip light USB can be powered by any source with a USB-A output, as long as it’s capable of providing over 2.4 amps.
Power banks of 100 watt-hours or less can be taken on airplanes and used with entoquip light USBs anywhere in the world.

advantages
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 significant, as all blacklights attract similar numbers of insects. Regardless, our lights have LEDs of both 365nm and 395nm, to help cover as much of the UVA spectrum as possible with modern LED technology.
It’s recommended to avoid looking directly at UV light, and to wear some kind of UV protective glasses when using blacklights.
There’s a high density of LEDs on entoquip lights. They will get “hot” to the touch. It’s a common misconception that LEDs run cool.
