I'm not so sure this is actually a Photocatalytic inhalation mosquito killer, so much as a fly vacuum with UV-ish lights to attract them.
It's the first LED unit that I've come across that actually appears to be using UV LEDs. They have a very weird appearance of a washed out blue that may be the UV stimulating the case of the LED.
The fan that sucks the bugs into the base is very quiet, but I do wonder if any insects are actually going to be duped into flying into it, and if they do, then if it's going to have the strength of airflow to stop them flying out again.

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
