Mosqinux Killamp Overview
Mosqinux Killamp is an E27 screw-base bulb that combines ordinary white LED room lighting with an ultraviolet lamp and an electrified metal grid, sold as a chemical-free way to cut down flying insects indoors and on covered porches.
How It Works
Two light sources share one housing. A white LED array in the upper dome handles normal room lighting. Lower down, behind a cage of vertical slots, sits an ultraviolet element surrounded by a metal grid held at high voltage. Insects drawn toward the UV light pass between the slots, bridge the grid, and complete the circuit. It is the same operating principle as the wall-mounted bug zappers that have been sold for decades — the novelty here is the bulb form factor, which lets the device borrow an existing light fitting instead of needing its own mount.
It Attracts Insects — It Doesn't Repel Them
This is the single most important thing to understand before buying. The device works by drawing insects toward itself and killing them on contact, which is the opposite of how a repellent works. That distinction matters for where you put it: a trap belongs away from where people sit or sleep, not directly above them.
Who It's a Good Fit For
The natural fit is a porch, gazebo, garage, shed or utility room — somewhere extra light is useful and where moths, midges and gnats are the main nuisance. For that job the design is sensible, running cost is low, and there are no aerosols or refills involved, which is a real advantage in an enclosed space or around children and pets. It is a weaker fit for the bedroom-mosquito problem the marketing leads with; the review goes through why in detail.
Key Features & Highlights
- Standard E27 screw base — fits an existing light fitting, no mounting hardware
- White LED array for ordinary room lighting
- Separate ultraviolet element as the insect attractant
- Electrified metal grid behind vertical slots
- Screw-to-wall-socket adapter with its own on/off switch, shown in the seller's photos
- Chemical-free — no aerosol, cream, or vaporiser refill
- Stated coverage area of 30 m²
Getting Started
- Unscrew the existing bulb from the fitting you want to use.
- Screw Mosqinux Killamp in — or fit it to the wall-socket adapter if you'd rather run it at outlet height.
- Position it away from where people sit or sleep, since the device works by attracting insects toward it.
- Switch it on when insects are active, and power it down otherwise — continuous running is what the seller's own energy-saving claim works against.
Worth knowing before you buy: wattage, lumen output, UV wavelength, grid voltage and any catch-rate methodology are all absent from the seller's page, as is any mosquito-specific trial data. The page also markets the bulb as "energy-efficient (G class)" — G being the lowest rung of the EU A-to-G energy label rather than a good one.
