Protect yourself against mosquitoes by adopting bulbs without UV

mosquitoes light

Contrary to popular belief, mosquitoes are not attracted by light or even by heat. As proof, a candle flame in the night does not attract mosquitoes. But then why do mosquitoes seem attracted by light and disturb our beautiful summer evenings?

UV attract mosquitoes

The UV abbreviation for Ultraviolet is light rays invisible to the naked eye that can be observed by fluorescence. It is these rays (whose wavelength is between 350 and 370nm) that attract mosquitoes, flies and other insects. Light or heat has nothing to do with attracting pests. UV rays cause tanning of the skin and are dangerous in high doses (wrinkles, burns, cancers ...).

Who produces UV?

Fluorescent (vortex), incandescent and halogen bulbs produce the light that emits UV radiation. On the other hand, if you use LED Light without UV radiation (check the product sheet), then your lamps will no longer attract mosquitoes and you can enjoy your summer evenings on your terrace or balcony well light without fear of being embarrassed and stung by mosquitoes and other harmful insects.
By changing your bulbs for LEDs, you will also save energy and a good gesture for the environment and sustainable development.

The new LED bulbs are 90% more efficient and last 25 to 50 times longer significantly reducing your consumption and bulb changes. They are classified in energy category A, A +, A ++ and are the most energy-efficient products. HOW MUCH ECONOMY CAN HOPE?
