Abstract

The present invention discloses an intelligent pest-killing lamp that attracts, disorients, and ideally kills plant pests, soil insects and sanitary insects, protecting plants and crops. The invention generates light at wavelengths between about 360 nm and about 420 nm with about 365 nm being preferred. The invention can also generates combinations of four colors of light. The light pulses at frequencies ranging from about 250 to about 500 hz, disorienting pests. The invention comprises a screw lamp base, an upper cover, a middle cover, a lamp and a control circuit board. The control circuit board comprises a controller that controls the light pulse frequency and an oscillator that drives the lamp. The screw lamp base is fixed on the upper end of the upper cover, the middle cover is fixed on the lower end of the upper cover, the control circuit board is configured in a space between the upper cover and the middle cover, and two pins on the neck of the lamp run through two holes or hollow cylinders on the lower end of the middle cover with the two pins being attached to the control circuit board.

Claims

1. A lamp assembly comprising:

a lamp that produces oscillating light having an oscillation frequency between about 250 hz and about 500 hz;

said oscillating light having wavelengths between about 360 nm and about 420 nm;

wherein said oscillating light functions to attract and disorient insects.

2. The lamp assembly of claim 1 further comprising a control circuit board, the control circuit board comprising an oscillator, said oscillator having a frequency that resonates with the frequency of the oscillating light, thereby increasing the amplitude of the oscillating light.

3. The lamp assembly of claim 2, wherein the oscillating light comprises a mixture of four colors.

4. The lamp assembly of claim 2, wherein the oscillating light comprises a single color.

5. The lamp assembly of claim 2 further comprising:

a screw lamp base;

an upper cover;

a middle cover;

a lamp; and

a control circuit board;

wherein the screw lamp base is fixed on the upper end of the upper cover, the middle cover is fixed on the lower end of the upper cover, the control circuit board is configured in a space between the upper cover and the middle cover, and the lamp comprises a neck with two pins which two pins extend toward the middle cover and which two pins run through two hollow cylinders, which hollow cylinders are part of the middle cover and extend from the lower end of the middle cover in the direction of the lamp, the two pins being electrically connected to the control circuit board.

6. The lamp assembly of claim 5, wherein the screw lamp base is of the E27 type.

7. The lamp assembly of claim 5, wherein the lamp is a spiral lamp having a diameter between about 4 mm and about 5 mm.

8. The lamp assembly of claim 5, wherein the oscillating light comprises a mixture of four colors.

9. The lamp assembly of claim 5, wherein the oscillating light comprises a single color.

10. The lamp assembly of claim 5, wherein a DC power source feeds electricity to the lamp assembly.

11. The lamp assembly of claim 10, wherein the DC power source is comprised of an AC power source and an AC to DC converter.

12. A lamp assembly comprising a light-emitting means functioning to emit pulses of light waves, said light waves having wavelengths between about 360 nm and about 420 nm, and said pulses of light waves occurring at frequencies between about 250 hz and about 500 hz.

13. The lamp assembly of claim 12 further comprising resonance means functioning to amplify the magnitude of the light waves emitted.

14. The lamp assembly of claim 12 further comprising insect disorienting means functioning to disorient insects.

15. The lamp assembly of claim 12 further comprising plant enhancement means functioning to improve blossoming, fruit bearing and the survival rate of plants.

16. The lamp assembly of claim 12 wherein the light emitting means further functions to emit light over an area of about 30 acres to about 50 acres.

17. The lamp assembly of claim 14 further comprising insect killing means functioning to kill insects after the insect disorienting means functions to disorient said insects.

18. The lamp assembly of claim 14, wherein the insect disorienting means further functions to protect the natural enemies of insects that are harmful to crops.

19. A pest catcher comprising:

a solar panel providing a source of DC power for

a lamp assembly comprising;

a screw lamp base;

an upper cover fixed to the screw lamp base;

a middle cover fixed to the upper cover;

a florescent lamp fixed to the middle cover, said florescent lamp comprising powders that when electrically stimulated emit light comprising up to 4 different wavelengths, all of said wavelengths being between about 360 nm and about 420 nm;

a control circuit board configured in a space between the upper cover and the middle cover, said control circuit board comprising;

a controller that receives DC power from the solar panel, converts the DC power into electrical pulses at frequencies between about 250 hz and about 500 hz and delivers said electrical pulses to an oscillator; and

an oscillator that receives said electrical pulses from said controller and converts said electrical pulses into sine waves that drive said florescent lamp; and

a catch basin located beneath the lamp assembly;

wherein said pest catcher attracts and then disorients pests, causing said pests to fly into the catch basin or fall into the catch basin.

20. The pest catcher of claim 19 further comprising a setting controller, said setting controller fixing the wavelengths emitted by the florescent lamp, fixing the frequencies of the electrical pulses delivered by the controller, fixing the number of light waves simultaneously generated by the florescent lamp and fixing the times of operation of the lamp assembly.
