FLYING INSECT KILLER & LIGHT FIXTURE INCORPORATING SAME ABSTRACT A light fixture incorporating a motorized insect exterminator includes a frame, a light source, and a motor mounted on the frame. A drive shaft of the motor is connected to an end of a clear and pliable plastic impeller. A translucent plate is mounted between the light source and plastic impeller. The impeller is rotated between 2,000 and 3,600 RPM's by the motor, sweeping out a circular area in the proximity of the plate on the opposite side from the light source. Flying insects, attracted to the light source, fly toward the light source, slow down to land on the plate, fly through the circular area at a relatively slow speed, and are fatally hit by the rapidly revolving impeller. The impeller is flexible and light enough and rotates at a slow enough speed to avoid injury to or cutting a finger which comes in contact with the rotating impeller. In one embodiment, a series of opaque strips are juxtaposed to translucent or transparent strips to provide dark landing sites for the insects.
