Hacking a magic pink insect-sucking 220V death ball.

It seemed so simple. A nice safe insect catcher that lured naughty insects in with its tantalising blue light and sucked them into a trap. But then it revealed its dark side and a really dubious bit of design too.
So after a thorough hacking it now draws half the power, runs much brighter with no flicker, but is still a bit of a deathtrap.

This just leaves the question... Was the flicker intentional? To stimulate insects to move towards it? Although it was REALLY dim. And were the resistors for heat? Again I doubt it, I think it was just bad design, which is a shame given the amount of work that has gone into making it.
