The Bug Saber is a handheld electric insect control device developed by Brightbeam Solutions with a sci-fi-inspired design that combines a high-voltage grid with an illuminated LED ring. The device uses a lightsaber-style hilt and integrated sound effects to create an interactive approach to pest control while attracting flying insects toward the electric grid. A 4,000-volt zapping system eliminates insects on contact, and the rechargeable design can be used either as a handheld unit or mounted vertically on an included stand for stationary operation.
The product consists of a Bug Saber Head, a compatible hilt, and a vertical stand that supports hands-free use indoors or outdoors. Users who already own a compatible saber-style hilt can attach the Bug Saber Head instead of purchasing a complete setup. The illuminated ring continues attracting insects while the device is docked.
