Matsushita launched LED lights attract insects to avoid

A moth is because many insects phototaxis at night, often can be seen around the street, there are a lot of insects in the vicinity of the cluster fly, actually these gather insects, because of a specific wavelength of light in the attraction, so can't help to light source direction.

Through this insect habits, you can create a "mosquito lamp" this kind of goods with mosquito favorite cannot lure worms wavelength, making special lamp, mosquito, fly to close, and then use a variety of ways to kill.

However, another kind of reverse thinking is how to make indoor lighting equipment, not easy to become a swarm of insects. According to the research of 200~410nm wavelength light, is the most sensitive to insects, if the light source can avoid as far as possible, this section of wavelength, lamps in order to target design, can achieve the effect of offbeat is not easy to incur or attract insects.

Matsushita Electric (National) LED lighting new paragraph 1 is not easy to recruit insects, a total area of separation frequently used white and yellow 2 types, because the output wavelength of LED segments can control the light in the production process, Matsushita deliberately avoided the wavelength of light section easy trick worm, experimentally, mothkilling the new index can be reduced to only the traditional lamp, mercury fluorescent lamp 1/3.

As for the luminous efficiency of the new lamp, luminous flux, the white model is 970lm, the Yellow model is 800lm, the LED life of 40 thousand hours, the overall size of 360mm * 263mm * 67mm, each set of lamps has been configured LED.

Because insects are different from light in the light of human beings, human beings seem to have the same source of light, but they are deadly attractive to insects.
