you have to keep connected to the power outlet. not power enough. just a lamp only

There is nothing worse than trying to go to sleep and hearing a mosquito buzzing around your head. This is a powerful electronic bug zapper to have around to combat that nighttime problem. Plug it in using the supplied cord and turn it on to put out a powerful UV light to attract any mosquitos around and draw them in to be executed. The plastic grid has small openings making it safe for prying fingers and pets.

--update 2-- After just over a month or service I am adding photos of the carnage inflicted on the mosquito population. A shot with lots of insects on the metal grid and what I could remove collected in a show shovel. I am glad this bug zapper came with a cleaning brush but I wish it would open so you could more easily and effectively remove the debris. Updating my rating, this is a nice device to have close to where you are recreating outside. No chemicals and nearly silent - the occasional resounding CRACK! of another insect is the only sound it makes. -- update-- It is now peak mosquito season and I deployed this Imotuntun Electric Mosquito Zapper does the job. I deployed it under my deck where it is dark and mosquitos tend to congregate so I thought it would be a good place to reduce the population around where I like to relax. I added a couple of pictures to my review of obvious mosquito carnage. This zapper is doing the job. Maybe the light is bringing them in, maybe it is just the sheer density of blood-sucking vermin but notwithstanding, this machine is reducing the population. Every resounding SNAP is one less mossy to bite me! -- original review -- Finding an easy and effective way of ridding your porch or campground of flying pests is a primary goal of any one who enjoys the outdoors. This Imotuntun claims to do just that with a simple USB C connection and consuming only 1 amp. I live where mosquitoes and other flying pests can be pretty outrageous in the summer so I received this Imotuntun to test its effectiveness. The description and included documentation indicate if consumes 1 amp at the USB standard 5 volts and I can confirm that. The unit lights up and the electric trap grid appears very effective when I shorted it with a metal too. It uses the power it claims and will kill insects that come within its grid. My skepticism comes from the attractant. The included user manual claims there are 12@365nm (blue) lights and 12@395nm (violet) lights. I put my spectrometer on the light and attempted to take a picture - my photo is attached. It clearly shows a single spike in the blue spectra but nothing in violet. I tried to illuminate a black light image and did not detect any ultra-violet light. The National Institute of Health has found that flying pests are attracted to light between 450nm and 495nm in the blue spectrum and 495nm and 570nm in the green spectrum. It seems this device does not emit light at the appropriate colors to attract flying pests. I will give it a fair shake though. I will install it near a different, proven effective, mosquito trap I use in my yard that uses propane and light to attract flying pests. I will update this review in the coming weeks to let you know how effective I find this trap.

Planted in several places just like directed and nothing - one acted like it might do something looked similar to sprouts than nothing

Ok I live in south East Louisiana. We have some serious mosquitos down here. With that said, the first night I had this plugged in it was obviously during the worse time of the evening. It overloaded the the containment. The next night, It either stopped zapping them or they got smarter. After a good cleaning it started zapping again. This unit does work but it works better if you're not living in areas that are frequented by flying invaders of peace and serenity. Unit is high maintenance to keep it operating optimally.

Was so disappointed. Charged before use and nothing. Charged again, made sure the charge light was on; still nothing. Light never came on.
