HATO UV – Universal power

Transitioning traditional Insect Light Traps (ILTs) to LED isn't as simple as swapping a bulb. Most legacy systems rely on diverse internal architectures—electromagnetic ballasts, high-frequency (HF) ballasts, or direct mains—that often reject standard LED retrofits.

The Series Wiring Challenge  

A major hurdle in many existing units is series wiring. Standard LEDs contain active internal drivers that "fight" each other when wired in a series, leading to flickering, failure, or inconsistent UV output. This usually forces a costly, total fixture replacement.

The HATO UV Solution: Universal Compatibility  

We offer a multi-tiered approach to upgrade any ILT housing without replacing the entire fixture:

• Universal Power Architectures: We provide dedicated lamps for Electromagnetic, HF Ballast (with sub-0.5s start-up), and Direct Mains configurations.
• Proprietary Series Driver: Our custom-engineered driver solves the series conflict. It ensures stable operation and consistent radiation output in series-wired installations—a unique HATO USP.
• Boost Technology: Beyond simple illumination, our proprietary "Boost" innovation enhances system-level trapping effectiveness, outperforming conventional solutions.

The Result: A cost-effective, high-performance transition that maximizes fly catchability while slashing your Total Cost of Ownership.

By bridging the gap between legacy infrastructure and future-proof performance, HATO UV eliminates the technical barriers of the LED transition. Whether you are navigating complex series-wired circuits or seeking to meet stringent EU performance standards, our universal power solutions and proprietary Boost technology ensure a seamless, cost-effective upgrade. We don't just replace lamps; we optimize your existing assets to deliver superior catch rates and long-term operational efficiency.
