LED bulb designs could be customized to be less attractive to specific disease-carrying insect species, according to an article on the Infection Control Today website.
A new study worked to reduce the number of insects an LED bulb can attract while still maintaining white light for indoor use.
For the purpose of the study, researchers created unique and one-off LED lamp designs that can be customized to emit different color wavelengths to reduce the attraction of insects.
“For places in the world where glass windows and screens are uncommon, reducing insect attraction to indoor lights is a big deal,” researchers said.
