It plugs into standard power, automatically powers on at dusk via a built-in sensor, and pairs a patented flickering flame LED with an ultraviolet lamp to draw mosquitoes, flies, and other nuisance insects into a high-voltage grid. Designed for outdoor conditions, the PIC lantern aims to replace smoky torches, chemical sprays, and open flames with a quiet, low-maintenance alternative that blends into your landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the lantern attract and eliminate insects?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit uses two complementary light sources to entice flying pests: a UV LED to lure insects that navigate by ultraviolet wavelengths and a patented flickering flame LED to create an appealing, candle-like glow. Once insects approach the light, they are taken out of circulation by a 6,500-volt electric grid. This approach targets flying insects without dispersing sprays or smoke into the air around your seating area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUV LED attracts mosquitoes, moths, and flies that respond to ultraviolet light\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlickering flame LED provides decorative, heat-free ambiance that insects also investigate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6500V grid delivers an instant kill on contact without toxic residues\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eElectric operation reduces need for refills or consumables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does dusk-to-dawn operation and weatherproofing work for outdoor use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA built-in light sensor turns the lantern on at dusk and off at dawn so it runs when insects are most active without manual intervention. The housing and finish are designed to withstand rain and outdoor exposure for seasonal outdoor use; it’s meant to sit on a flat surface, hang from the integrated loop, or be mounted in sheltered locations. Being a plug-in device, it requires a nearby outdoor-rated outlet for continuous operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAutomatic dusk-to-dawn sensor starts lights and zapper after dark\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeatherproof casing and durable finish for outdoor environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrated hanging loop and mount-friendly design for flexible placement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRequires standard outdoor power outlet; protect outlet and cord for extended life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat coverage can I expect and where should I place it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePIC rates this lantern for coverage of up to 2 acres, a measure that depends on placement, surrounding landscape, and local insect populations. For best results, place the lantern between the insect source (e.g., standing water, shrubs) and the area you want to protect at a moderate height—roughly head level—to draw insects away from seating areas. Multiple units will increase protection across larger or irregularly shaped spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated performance up to 2 acres under optimal conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePosition between known insect hotspots and gathering spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHang or mount at about eye\/head height for effective draw\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse multiple units for larger yards or complex layouts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for?
