The company’s Zapplight bulb acts as both a functional light bulb and a bug zapper. It emits 920 lumens of light, and also emits an ultra violet light to attract bugs and zap them with a wave of electricity inside the bulb’s external grid.
In 2016, research out of New Mexico State University determined that ZappLight was in fact effective against Zika causing mosquitoes. However, others have questioned the product’s convenience due to the bulb’s size being larger than a standard household light bulb.
