I am trying to work out what this is, perhaps someone else has seen these before? They are about 8 of them all with floodlights facing a lake (although I doubt the light would reach the lake due to bush on the shoreline of the lake). These are located on the eastern side of Yellagonga Regional Park (Lake Joondalup).

At a guess... A flood lit mosquito killer. answered 07 May '13, 13:21  Firefishy ♦♦ 1 Oh how very interesting. During my searches I came up with lots of articles about the serious numbers of midgies around the lake. We may have a winner. Edit: It has to be a bug zapper. Good thinking. Now... to tag it, haha. Thanks (07 May '13, 13:24) Russkel |
Solar panel powering the floodlight? answered 07 May '13, 07:54  Feilipu 1 There are no solar panels on these units. What "sort of" looks like a solar panel is actually dirt that has accumulated onto the cage. (07 May '13, 12:23) Russkel |
Russkel, did you consider to make a call to the local authoriries or the firm who set them up, to ask them whats the use off it ? Hendrikklaas
@Hendrikklaas, I have fired off an email to a volunteer group that monitors and takes care of the park. Authorities would be next, but I am not sure what this is and who it belongs to :).
What's the name on the unit (visible, but not quite legible in the photo, at top left)?
Good idea, @SomeoneElse, although this seemed to be the only one with that sticker which made me subconsciously disregard it as a random sticker someone slapped on. I can't read the source photos either. I believe it was something slang sounding and quite unscientific.
