Spending time outdoors has its perks. You get to enjoy the fresh air, listen to the sounds of nature, and brush up on basic survival skills. Although it paints a pretty picture, there are some downsides to this form of recreation. Bugs are annoying, especially mosquitoes. It’s high time we fight back with the help of the Photon Matrix.
We’re finally at a point wherein technology is advanced enough to develop cool gadgets that keep these tiny bloodsuckers at bay. Make this bad boy a part of your EDC loadout during al fresco gatherings. At around 200 mm x 92 mm x 92 mm (L x W x H) and 2.7 lbs., it’s a cutting-edge air defense system in a portable package.
Instead of aircraft and drones, the Photon Matrix actively scans, detects, and shoots down flying insects 2-20 mm in size. Each unit covers a radius of roughly 20 feet. The device uses LiDAR, Millimeter-wave radar, and an AI Vision Module to locate targets. Once in range, it fires a laser beam to take down pests.
The aluminum and plastic construction is not only lightweight but also IP56-rated against the elements. For convenience, owners can operate it directly via a control knob, or do so remotely via a mobile app, which uses Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Inside is an “IEC 60825-1 Class 4 internal diode, fully enclosed with multi-layer active safety protection.”
Buyers can choose between an infrared version or a blue laser version. We recommend the latter for the awesome light show while the Photon Matrix is in action. By default, you need to plug it into a power outlet to activate, but the unit also supports PD/QC-ready power banks (20,000 mAh should last anywhere between four and five hours.
