Product Overview

The Portronics Nixo is a USB-powered UV electric mosquito-killer lamp for indoor use. It attracts flying insects with UV light and uses a high-voltage grid to eliminate them. It also has a fan mode and a removable collection tray for dead insects.

Power requirement: Nixo must be connected to a suitable USB power source while operating. It is not a cordless/rechargeable lamp.
