To reduce blue light emissions, scientists have 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 that carry fatal 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 found that the key to reducing the attraction of light bulbs to insects is to minimize the amount of blue light emitted. Through experiments with PHILPS, an adjustable LED bulb was produced to reduce the attraction of insects by regulating the amount of blue light emitted. By comparing with the traditional compact fluorescent lamp (CFL energy-saving lamp), it was found that the number of insects absorbed by the adjustable LED bulb was reduced by 20% compared with that of CFL energy-saving lamps. Proved that by reducing the amount of blue light emitted, the tube can really reduce the attractiveness of insects.
