Pink and dangerous Mosquito zapper revisit 

When you have mosquitos and kids and want to get rid of one of them.

"Electron go out mosquito Small a night lamp... Need extinguish mosquito de place... House de enviroment in, single plane... Adornment, hypnotic quiet se ruo light... Minute, or job, study shi ba mie mosquito... Free in dark place... Please not use hand touch..." Unknown poet, 2020.

You had me at "Pink and Dangerous."

Worth the purchase just for the packaging comedy!!

He's speaking the language of gods

"They seem to be dead". Pokes with fingers to be sure.

As a person who speaks Chinese- they very likely didn't use any translation software, I'm impressed! Seeing the manual paints a vivid picture of the manufacturer- the random 'de'(s) in the instructions indicate a possessive- they correspond to the chinese character '的'. It appears the translator did not learn how to use the apostrophe+s to indicate possessives. That also partially explains the name. electron=电子, go out =去, mosquito=蚊. I have no idea why the name says 'small a night lamp' instead of 'small light lamp', but my guess would be that they plugged in the characters/phrases in individually thus having 夜 which means 'night' come out as 'a night' because english. The theory also accommodates the 'de' issue, as just inputting 的 would give a translation software a hard time indeed. That said, both Google and Baidu translate it as 'of', which makes sense. Sort of. I would therefore also conjecture what they looked it up in a bilingual dictionary or textbook and found nothing corresponding to 的 and just gave up, instead opting to put the pinyin instead. That said, English is a mandatory part of the standard public education curriculum as a foreign language section, and is part of the GaoKao (High-exam, short for Normal Higher Education Standardized Test, which is the one criterion for chinese college admissions), so I am genuinely lost as to why there is absolutely no grammar to speak of. The only conclusion I can come up with is that the translator therefore likely failed to even graduate high school and most certainly failed to get into college. This paints a picture of a stubborn (or frugal?, but then they would have used a free tool like baidu, so...idk) person who tried too hard, but still not enough. Anyways, I had fun imagining this stuff. As a note, the correct translation of 电子去蚊小夜灯 (which is what I guess the actual chinese name of the thing is) should be "electronic mosquito removal night lamp", or according to google translate (and coincidentally, also baidu translate- the two give the same results), "Electronic night light". I refuse to reverse-engineer the entire Chinese manual, but if you're interested, consider searching for listings for 电子驱蚊小夜灯 or something. For the ignorant- I keep referencing baidu because google is blocked in China and baidu is their primary search engine. mostly. Chinese internet is complicated.

I think we should all be grateful when we get instructions like these, its an instant indicator not to use and return

"It was smouldering seductively" , before it exploded. How can we forget lol

this feels like a stroke in a person trying to communicate while drunk

You read the name of the product like it was just another sentence. Meanwhile I'm backing tf up to determine if I just had a stroke 😂

9:47 On the plus side, the thing will smell like "humans" after the first cleaning

That sounds more like a cypher than instructions.

"Electron go out mosquito Small a night lamp" - Love how you read out the chinglish with the straightest of faces.

To be fair, their English is better than my Chinese!

I really needed that. Thanks Clive!

Antonio Stella Bottom Tile's favourite bug zapper.

I could listen to you reading most things all day. But this one made my head hurt ¦¬}

That is quite possibly the most fantastic Chinglish I've ever heard.

admit it Clive... this is a custom made zapper you ordered with pink cover and entertaining instructions :D

I've had one of these in my garage for more than a year; the purpose is to kill flying things that zoom in at night when I open the garage door. Once the door is closed for the night, it is the only light source, and I'm happy to report it works like a hot damn! I have to clean the grid about once every two weeks.

Those instructions sound like the shipping forecast.

I almost understood nearly every word. It sounded like it was written by Stanley Unwin.

The finest example of Chinglish I've ever seen. That was beautiful.

This is probably the most exquisite chenglish i heard in quite a while ... marvelous

I have one of these for 120v. It works great. Clearly, you need to take safety precautions. Thanks for taking it apart and showing a schematic.

Kudos, Clive, for reading the instructions without bursting into laughter and never recover for the rest of the video.

Well, I'm of two minds on this new iterations. The "improved" Chinglish instructions are certainly more entertaining, but all three capacitors were the same boring size and shape. The different-colored and sized and shaped ones in the unit that exploded were more festive.

That text reads and has the exact same effect as Vogon poetry. For context: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ih-3vK2qLls.html On an entirely different note... Gaudy, Split, Pink, Zappy and Sparky, yes collect all of your favorites in this ONE special offer! OMG OMG OMG SPAARRKKYYY!

The way you draw the voltage multiplier is really cool, the capacitive multiplier finally made sense to me.

I'm laughing so hard, I'm crying and farting uncontrollably, at the same time, listening to you read those "instructions"...! 🤣

Amazing product. The cherry on the cake is that it also holds a charge after being unplugged.

My sister bought one of these at an actual physical shop (in Piraeus, near Athens) and sent me those instructions a couple of months ago. But I still lost it halfway through and had to go and lie down. Sent her your video and it happily turned out her survival instinct had already cut in and she had thrown it away.

I understod most of that instruction. I have to stop order stuff from Aliexpress!

I wish I was an animator... because I think it'd be hilarious to try animating instructions like this.... maybe live action?

Been using one of these primarily as a night light for several years now. Does seem to do the job but only in the dark otherwise the bugs prefer to headbutt the windows.

Mosquito can have small a night lamp, as a treat

Really like the fusing that yellow wire looks like its good for about 20 amps. Okay hear on a shaver adaptor with fuse but overseas on a two pin wall socket mmmmm lovely. Thanks for the strip down, I will not be rushing to get on.

0:30 Let me herp you out. I speak fruent Chinglish! A) Indoor use only B) Do not cover. Effective range 16m2 (indoors). C) Low power consumption: Uses less power than a lightbulb. Quiet operation, ideal for use in the bedroom. Run for 10 to 20 minutes before going to bed to guarantee a restful night's sleep, or to work or study undisturbed. D) Suitable for 24/7 continuous operation, but for maximum longevity, switch off when not in use, for example by connecting the device to your light switch. E) For optimal performance, clean regularly. First disconnect power, then open cover and clean with a soft brush. WARNING: Do not touch while power indicator is on.

I just love Clive's CAD...........simple and concise.

The “small a night lamp” just breaks me

Hahaha, I needed that, that is so far the funniest thing I’ve heard in 2021, I wonder the series of translations that lead to the masterpiece that is mosquito zapper instructions, continued success Engineering Life Fabrizio

I've used similar ones for years and they do work surprisingly well if put in a good spot. That light isn't the best at attracting insects unless you place it in a completely dark room. Now I personally was NOT using it for mosquitos. Every few years we have a thrips problem, small little gnats that love fungus(or just fruit) depending on the type. They usually come from the store and once you have them they are really hard to get rid of. During good day over 30+ could be zapped by this device. They are completely harmless but they can be so annoying as they love to fly(if you can call that flying, they're like flying drunk) often into your face or your monitor while working. I don't even want to think how many there would be without traps like this. At times bigger things can fly into it like harmless moths and they make a very loud noise, scary loud zap sound.

Those instructions apply to all walks of life, Words to live by.

"Cut Need extinguish mosquito de place" Indeed!!

I went to school with a guy who spoke like the product description, so to me that's pretty understandable.

Clive, you reading those instructions is the funniest thing I've heard in a looong time. Had to pause the video to save my tea. And my curtains.

The instructions sound like someone shook a loose dictionary over paper and the words that fell out were what they used. Thanks Clive.

when the packaging is the most safe part.

The way you read the instructions is strangely poetic. It would be quite soothing if I wasn't laughing uncontrollably...

I used to be a line foreman at sharp electronics in Wrexham in the early 90s The instructions on the zapper is written in the same broken English that all the technical instructions for the CD and video players we used to make. They were an absolute nightmare to make sense of.

I bought one of these. Whatever you do don't deliberately touch the electrodes after unplugging to see what will happen. On the other hand if you expect a brief but nasty shock you might merely get what you signed up for. Didn't attract many mosquitoes as it had blue LEDs rather than UV ones.

Its about time they include clear and concise instructions with these devices.

My brains got scrambled trying to read your thumbnail.

Your photography and videography are much improved Clive.

Mosquito extinguisher. Effective extinguish strength 16 sq.m. Sadly, fire extinguisher is not included, as it may be needed. However the name and instructions are brilliant 😂

Nobody: The packaging: *_U T E N S I L S E T_*

2:02 Amusement de throne on am not extinguish cellar. Translation: I about fell out of my chair laughing.

it really is an honor tho to know what most of them scars on that workbench are from ..ive been with you since the ole firwork barbie bigclive ...but i cant deny youhad me rollin out of my seat with that intro .... i laughed harder than i probly should have.

Oh Clive....Your the best thing to happen on RU-vid 👍👍😆🌟🌟💯

One of the very best bits of Chinglish mixed with Chinench :-)

I think this is the 3rd time this has been featured on the channel. Fantastic! C. This go out as save energy ... shi ba mie ... all is very effective usage. :)

I do have about 3-4 of these in the house to control fruit flies and the sort in the kitchen. We thankfully don't have kids or pets... They do however help cut back on flies and other bugs in our kitchen, so it does work. We have the US models, which would be running on 110v (115v average in my house).

As mentioned before, the 220nF capacitor in the LED power supply should withstand at least twice the peak voltage of the mains supply voltage. Consider the moment when the capacitor is charged at its max voltage, and you try to unplug the power. During this interval, the power plug is sliding at its contacts at the socket. Consider a chance of 10ms interruption (for 50Hz) before next contact, the supply voltage could change from max positive peak, to max negative peak. And the capacitor will see twice the mains supply voltage. The same will occur when the contacts of a power switch are bouncing. Btw, please note that a CBB21/CBB22 capacitor is rated for DC voltage.

In the US we've got a bigger version of that that gets used a lot in campgrounds, mounted on street lights. Typically the frame is about 1 ft by 2 ft. I there's blue ultraviolet fluorescent lights in it (4-6 tubes IIRC). The grids are made from about 1/16" wire spot welded to a pair of rails. Typically there's two grids. The entire unit is quite substantial. I've walked past them when they were just coated in dead mosquitoes. The bars were coated to the point where they're almost bridging. I have seen the mosquitoes on the grids catch on fire and burn, so that is a possibility.

I lost it at the 'for example' LOL! Soo sweet of them to include an actual real-life practice, with it the instruction makes perfect sense. Also, I lost it second time at 'study shi ba mie mosquito' LMAO

Call an ambulance! Big Clive is having a stroke!

I would definitely buy one just to show the instructions to some friends.

Those instructions are giving me serious flashbacks to Ashens' "Wonderful sound, strange shape" violin. All that's missing is Ji Plug Pu Melon Ni.

Those instructions shi ba mie perfectly clear

I love the broken English

Hearing you read that made my night Clive! Hahaha! Thanks for that kind sir!

I had a good laugh at the "That's spicy!" comment.

You are far braver than me going anywhere near those damn things. In reality I really don't like working on anything over 50V and outright refuse to work on anything above 415 3 phase.

The only explanation for the instructions was someone was extremely fluent in both English and Chinese set out with a goal of writing immaculate instructions on how to use this contraption and the exact second his fingers touched the keyboard he started having a stroke and just powered through it because he is a hell of a guy committed to his job.

Brilliant enjoyed those instructions. As clear as the current lockdown!!

That name cracks me up so much "electron go out mosquito small a night lamp"

"It does hold a charge" They scrimped on a discharge resistor? Enough said.

We had one of the first bug zappers back in the 70's. 5000v. You could light cigarettes with it. A friend got knocked off the patio and down some stairs trying to stick a bug in it by hand.

"Shitty Pink Mozzie Zapper From China" (Extended Don't-Poke-It Remix) (side note: loving the accumulation of smoke stains, arc burns, and general wear and tear on Clive's Bench of Discovery. Looks a lot different to when I first found the channel)

Fun fact, mosquitoes smell the co2 in your breath, that's how they find you in the dark

I'm watching live while the 2nd Civil War begins... Clive posts a new video... I hold all my live feeds... FUCK YEAH - BIG CLIVE VIDEO!

ah what easy to understand instructions! great video clive!

I have many of those around the house. They work for like gnats. Gnats are bad in Oklahoma around the summer and fall. There are no children around. We have cats, but these things are kept high off the floor. They work better than sucker baskets. Results aren't spectacular or anything, but they help.

Reminds me of a white van projector mount I have in the house with "Projector mourns to pack" printed on the box.

The best part is the rather elaborate "Chinglish" instructions fail to mention discharging before cleaning..... SUPPLIES! :D

Mosquitoes are attracted to polarized light (water), thermal IR (body heat), and CO2 (breath), a polarizing filter over white LEDs, or a little PTC heater set around body temp, or a little incandescent lamp with a polarizing filter would all probably do a better job for mosquitoes.

Good ol google translator giving confidence in all

Wow, that Engrish / Chinglish is astounding. I'm not sure I've seen anything quite as brilliant as that before.

If it wouldn’t send everyone on the internet into screeching panic attacks, I’d love to hear that read in a Jamaican accent.

I remember watching somewhere that mosquitoes are attracted to two main things, CO2, carbon dioxide, and one type of light that can make them go haywire, the type of light is one I can't remember, but it is one common trick to put a bucket under the lamp and watch a bunch of insects drowning themselves

The charging red capacitor on these zappers lasts 3-5 months max. After that it holds less than half its charge.

Mosquitos are attracted by the thermal signature of prey (that is, they are IR seekers) and by CO2 (they are also chemical seekers). Since mosquitos only feed on birds and mammals, these are quite sufficient to find their prey.

"decrease fluorescent tube de switch's time, prolong fluorescent tube de service life" - can't argue with that.

I have a previous version of this one, aqua coloured, and with the old, higher-component count PCB and conventional non-SMT blue LEDs. The circuitry on the old PCB was also voltage-doubling, for extra sparkiness and crispiness. Compared to yours, it's practically the luxury version. Ah, they don't make them like they used to, do they?

I have an outdoor zapper and I find moths are very attracted to the UV light and Mosquitoes are also attracted but less so.

i saw a little pink and blue butterfly version of this thing, presumably to attract any children in the area along with the mosquitoes.

They do work, when I bring plants in for the winter, it gets the little black flies that spawn from the soil.

I can't help but think that the "instructions" should have been read with a Jamaican accent... :P
