Hello
why there is no combo of both ?? here is one I made.
Instructions:-
all that you need is a 120mm fan with blue LEDs (UV LED work the best), get a USB fan (5v) or regular pc fan (12v), zip ties and cut to the size air filter.
the assembly is simple the light reflector with the fan grill joined to fan and fan mount by zip ties both then joined to the base using the 3d printed threads.
NOTES:-
1- please USE IT WITH CATION AND AT YOUR OWN RISK.
2-the air filter must be cut to size and the one I used is this one:-
Aqua-Flo Cut to Fit AC / Furnace Premium Washable Reusable Air Filter (16"x 25"x 1")

if you want to add more functionality you may want to consider carbon air filters (cut to size combos)
3-the fan must be static pressure fan and from 1 mmh2o and higher
4-for silent operation, please consider 1mmh2o or less (less performance) fan and 30db or less.
5-for balanced performance, please consider the 2.2-2.5 range mmh2o fan.
6-for maximum performance. please consider 4+ mmh2o fan.
7- the previous 4 note is based on my NOT accurate test so rest may vary for you.
8-this is meant to be a slow trap/filtration so don't rush the results this meant it must work 24/7.
9-if you are willing to use it with 120mm pc fan please consider 12v 3-5A 5-10 watt PSU depending on your fan power requirement this can be found on the back of the fan.
10-this is meant to be used in my office that's why I use silent fans 25db or less low cfm will help in lowering the noise I use 32 cfm.
11-if the fan with LED (as mosquito trap) didn't work for you as mosquito trap, please consider separating the LED and putting it on top of the light reflector to point the light down and inside.
12-this can be used as mosquito trap alone or air filter alone or as both.
13-I hope this helps reduce the risk for microbial infections dust allergies and mosquito injuries depending on the filter used.
