Integral LED support University of Bristol study of effects of lighting on insects

 

New research, part-funded by Integral LED and conducted by scientists from the University of Bristol has revealed that domestic LED lights are much less attractive to nuisance insects such as biting midges than traditional filament lamps.

The team now highlights the urgent need for further research on other heat-seeking flies that transmit disease, including mosquitoes that are carriers of pathogens that cause damaging diseases such as malaria and Zika fever.

The full paper can be read online: Experimentally comparing the attractiveness of domestic lights to insects: Do LEDs attract fewer insects than conventional light types?
