I could not upload the video here, so I posted it on reddit/flashlight.
I shined my Convoy M21C (Cree XHP70.2, 5000K) on turbo mode at a mosquito. The mosquito appeared to be stunned and did not react to my slowly approaching finger until it was barely touched. I missed it in this video, but I was able to easily squash it when it landed again.
Nice creative way to get rid of them. I scorched some before with my imalent ms03 in turbo. That beam gets hot!
Yeh, I did that before, but most times don’t have any bright enough (cd) light to swamp their eyeballs so that they don’t see it coming.
I just overheat them. I do this since several years, in summer the daily checking for mosquitos in the evening is just routine.
Approaching these mosquitos with low light mode slowly, then putting the light quickly over them, then turbo.
After 10 seconds they are toast. Soda can style lights highly recommended due to bigger front lens size. No tactical bezel, it has to be flat. No dirt or residue, 100 percent success, just perfect. Works also with the “fully loadaed” ones, no blood stains on walls or other surfaces 
I’ve done the same with fleas! Very fast and very hard, almost impossible to kill by hand. But slap a S2+ triple over them and turbo, instant desiccation. The water vapor released actually fogs up the lens afterward.
Popcorn…
I kill flies and spiders the same way .
He blinded me with science !!! Smack !!
Mama always told me not to look into the eyes of the sun.
But Mama… that’s where the fun is!
Time for a mosquito scorcher build!!
Wonder if a xenon bulb would work best… 
Extra warm day for mosquitoes 
When you can hear them buzzing in the dark I use any one of my armytek wizards to find them.
A wide smooth beam allows you to spot them quickly when they’re flying in a room.
On a separate issue, this summer I was taking down moths that were flying 20 to 25 ft high a little bit out in front of me. I was on the deck in the backyard which is only two and a half feet high. Totally pitch dark out there with no visible lights. I was playing with my Acebeam W30 4000K LEP. I trained it on a good sized moth and tried to keep him in the beam and after about 3,4 or 5 seconds it appeared to just stop flying and spiraled to the ground. I was able to duplicate it about four or five more times that night and then again a few nights later. I never got down off the deck to see what their condition was laying in the grass. I should have to see if they recovered with time.
~15kHz makes them drop like they’re kilt. Then you can smoosh them at your leisure.
Heard rumblings that it inspires a fear response, like odos are in the area, so they do the moth version of drop’n’roll.
Had birbseed in the house which those little f’ers would get into, and that was the only surefire way to clobber them.
15 khz? Is that radio frequency? Like do you get a HF radio and transmit with it and it damages the mosquitoes?
Hyu-mon hearing usually goes up to 20kHz, so 15kHz would be like an old-timey CRT teevee’s high-pitched whine when turned on.
I made a bunch of kid-, umm, bug-annoyers with those ubiquitous Motorola piezo tweeters that saturated the surplus market for a while.
Oh i see now its a sound you play through the speakers, not a radio signal. I always thought ultrasonic insect devices never worked!
Those plug-in doodads? Hit or miss. Lotta those, if they’ve got any actual circuitry inside at all vs just a blinking LED (lookit some of The Big Clive’s teardowns), might just emit ultrasonic “chirps” and nothing continuous. Doubt that does very much to repel anything.
We get these… I call 'em cockaroaches, but they’re not… creepy beetles maybe an inch long, dark brown, got their usual long creepy antlers in front but have what looks like a second head and antlers coming out of their asses. Mainly come out at night to scavenge for food on the ground, but will come inside if you give 'em the slightest chance, like a crack under a door, etc.
Wellp, my sister used to get 'em in her house all the time from the outside, especially the backyard. She got one of those plug-in doodads that she raved about, and for the first time ever, they weren’t coming inside the house. She raved about that thing.
Now, whether that eventually broke or what, but years later it stopped working, and she ordered new ones, that never worked worth a damn.
Anyhoo, those things are just supposed to repel little beasties. The chirps are just like annoying neighbors playing crap music all day long, that the little beasties just go elsewhere.
The doodad I made blasts a continuous near-ultrasonic screech that makes moths drop out of the air like they’re dead. it’s like, “Oh shiite! A predator’s after me! I better drop outta the sky and land right f’n now!!”, and they drop straight down. Ie, it doesn’t repel them, but instills instant fear that paralyses them even in flight.
