Protect yourself against mosquitoes by adopting bulbs without UV
Protect yourself against mosquitoes by adopting bulbs without UV
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.
