Reducing the amount of blue light emitting scientists developed LED bulbs that do not attract insects

CnBeta network total phototaxis at night insects, when you turn on a light bulb in the night, you will find that many bugs will be dense around the light flight. Sometimes it can be very distressing, such as attracting harmful insects carrying deadly diseases.

From the University of South Carolina (USC) Professor Travis Longcore began studying how to make do not attract insects bulb, his study did not stay in the stage of experiment and theory, and he and Holland PHILPS company jointly produced some have the characteristics of light bulb.

Professor Longcore has found that the key to reducing the bulb's attraction is to minimize the amount of blue light. Through the experiment with the PHILPS production of adjustable LED bulbs, by adjusting the blue light emission, to reduce the attraction of insects. By contrast with the traditional compact fluorescent lamp (CFL), it is found that the number of insects that can be adjusted by the LED bulb is 20% less than that of the CFL energy saving lamp. It is proved that by reducing the amount of blue light emission, the lamp tube can reduce the attraction to insects.
