Safer Insect Trap Lighting for Food Sites Webinar Recording

Conflicting messages about RoHS, fluorescent lamps and LED alternatives have left many food businesses unsure how to manage insect light traps without risking compliance, performance or unnecessary cost. This webinar brings together regulatory, manufacturing and food safety expertise to explain what is actually happening with insect trap lighting - and what food sites should (and shouldn’t) be doing right now. Rather than focusing on speculation, the session examines how RoHS exemptions work in practice, why UV insect light traps are treated differently from general lighting, and what realistic planning looks like for the years ahead. The panel also explores where retrofit LED can deliver genuine value, and where careful specification is essential to avoid compromising food safety or fly control efficacy. Topics covered include: How RoHS reviews and exemptions apply specifically to UV insect light traps Why fluorescent lamps for ILTs remain available and what future review dates really mean When retrofit LED is a sensible option — and when sticking with fluorescent is justified Food safety risks associated with different LED lamp constructions The impact of diffusion, lamp form factor and UV distribution on insect attraction Audit considerations when using LED on BRCGS-certified food sites How to upgrade existing insect light traps without replacing entire units Who should watch: This recording is relevant for food safety and technical managers, quality and compliance teams, pest control professionals, facilities managers, environmental health officers, and anyone involved in specifying, maintaining or auditing insect light traps in food environments. Speakers: 🔹 Jasmin Emmerson – Sales Director, Opti-Catch Practical guidance on retrofit LED performance, safety and specification 🔹 Stuart Dell – Signify (Philips) RoHS Directive insight, exemption timelines and lighting market context 🔹 Kim Stilwell – Technical Manager, Food, BRCGS Audit expectations and effective fly control on food sites Includes a live Q&A addressing real-world concerns such as audit evidence, lamp replacement cycles, contamination risk and transition planning.
